Neither team scored the rest of the second half, despite Proctor losing a player to a red card and playing with 10 including their goalkeeper. With 1:47 remaining in the first overtime, Sam Longseth got in the way of a Proctor clearing attempt in front of their net, knocking the ball in to put the Jacks ahead 2-1.
