Central Washington (2-6-4, 2-3-2) managed to equalize the match in the 32nd minute on a goal from Makinze Packwood. Packwood struck again in the second, in the 80th minute, in what looked like to be the winning goal. Off the corner, the Saints (5-9-0, 1-7-0) found Robbins at the top of the box, who punched in the goal to send the match to overtime.
