Denny found Logan Bush for a goal with the Roos down a player and Carin Sherwood knotted the game at 12 with 1:24 remaining on her third goal of the game.

The Falcons had the lone shot on goal in the first overtime before Long tallied the game-winner.

Auger paced the Roos with three goals and two assists, while Denny added three goals and one assist. Sherwood finished with her first collegiate hat trick, while Bush also recorded a pair of scores. Amanda Woods led Canton with four caused turnovers, while Jessica Pele picked up a team-best four draw controls.
