Next: Blue Raiders face Northwestern Ohio on Sat 6 Dec 2014 at 3pmCT for the title at Orange Beach Sportsplex, 4389 Pub Works Road, Orange Beach, AL

ORANGE BEACH, AL - A golden goal in the first overtime period by Emilia Jonsson sent the Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team past Northwood (Fla.) 2-1 and into the NAIA National Championship match on Saturday.



After the first 90 minutes of play saw the score tied at 1-1, Lindsey Wilson (17-3-3) struck quickly in the first overtime period to seal their spot in the title game.

Amanda Kander received a pass as she raced down the left-hand side. She dribbled towards the goal and took a shot that Northwood goalkeeper Matilda Hjalte saved to her left. The ball rebounded to the right of the goal where Emilia Jonsson was charging in. Jonsson fired a ball that went through a Northwood defender's legs and snuck just under the crossbar to send the Blue Raiders to the national championship game.

The golden goal came in a game where Lindsey Wilson found itself in an unfamiliar spot, trailing for the first time in the national championship tournament.

In the fourth minute, Northwood (17-6-2) played a ball forward off a free kick to Johanna Engberg, who split a pair of Blue Raider defenders and was able to stay onside before quickly releasing a shot past Johanna Henriksson charging out from goal for the early 1-0 lead.

The Seahawks applied intense pressure in the early goings to the Blue Raider back defensive line, the first such opponent to do so in four national championship matches this season.

About 20 minutes into the game, Lindsey Wilson began settling in and controlling possession, pushing the offensive attack forward.

The Blue Raiders started testing the Northwood defensive unit taking three shots, two on target, before finally breaking through in the 39th minute.
