FARGO, N.D.—North Dakota State's leading scorer Lauren Miller found open field in the 105th minute to set up teammate Britney Monteon for the golden goal against South Dakota at Dacotah Field on Sunday afternoon.
 
The double-overtime win puts North Dakota State at the top of the league standings with a 9-5-0 overall record and 4-0-0 Summit League record. South Dakota falls to 4-10-0, 1-2-0 Summit League.
 
Miller had been well-marked throughout the match, with Coyote defenders senior Kasha Meyer and sophomore Katlin Ptacek making numerous defensive stops. The Coyote back line limited Miller to a single shot-on-goal during the game.
 
Then in the second overtime period, Miller was unmarked at midfield. She carried it down the middle for 10 yards before sending it to Monteon at the right side of the goal box. Monteon fired off a shot across the box and into the far left side of the goal.
 
The Coyotes led the attacking front, outshooting the Bison 17-14.
 
North Dakota State goalkeeper Sierra Bonham grabbed five saves off shots-on-goal by sophomore Brittney Baker, sophomore Courtney Baker, and senior Brenna Bills.
 
South Dakota goalkeeper Sydney Hardin also faced five shots-on-goal, pulling down four saves.
 
The Coyotes travel to Brookings, S.D., on Friday to take on South Dakota State at 6 p.m. The Summit League contest will also be the second match-up of the South Dakota Showdown Series between the rival schools. The Coyotes and the Jackrabbits compete in volleyball on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
