Sophomore defender Lucas Sampson notched his first career goal in the 80th minute of the match as the Duhawks and Storm came to a 3-3 draw after two overtime periods.

Simpson came out in the second half and cut the deficit to one in the 48th minute on a goal from Enrique Idehen, followed by the equalizer in the 59th minute from Jordy Triana-Vasquez. 

The score remained tied for the next 20 minutes before Sampson charged the ball down field on a breakaway and rifled a shot on goal from ten yards out to put the Duhawks up 3-2 with ten minutes left in the match. 

Mason Madren scored the third goal for Simpson in the closing minutes of the match to force the game into double overtime where the score held at an even 3-3.
