A UAB penalty was given in the 52nd minute, but graduate student Kendell Mindnich (Melbourne Beach, Fla.-Melbourne) came up with a diving save to the left side, keeping out the Blazers. Ten minutes later, a wonderfully constructed team play ending with a Kingsley goal, leveled the match at, 1-1. The Blazers went on to win the game in the 108th minute of double overtime from another left, low-hanging shot, for a final score of, 2-1.
