Mummert with goal and assist as Louisiana opens two-match trip to Illinois
Â
Gwen Mummert added a goal and assist while freshman Rachel Sutter had two assists for Louisiana (0-2-1), which used a goal by Lafayette's Katherine Whitman in the third minute before Telly Vunipola scored in the 50th minute off an assist from Karleen Bedre.
Â
NIU (0-1-1) scored three goals in a 16-minute span to take a 3-2 lead as Hannah Kroupa scored in the 62nd minute for the Huskies before Trudy Quidzinski scored back-to-back goals for a 3-2 lead.
Â
Mummert began a wild final 6:10 of the match after her header in the 84th minute tied the game at 3-3. Quidzinski scored her third goal of the game – and fourth of the season – just over 90 seconds later to give NIU a 4-3 lead before a pair of late fouls by the Huskies gave the Ragin' Cajuns a final chance to send the match to overtime.
Â
After a foul by NIU with 19 seconds remaining, Augustyn took a pass from Mummert off a direct kick and scored on a scramble in the box and sending the match to overtime.
Â
Louisiana had a shot attempt in the first overtime before NIU's Julia Lentz saved a last-second attempt by Rainey Niles in the second overtime to earn the draw.
Â
Mackenzie Lee recorded four saves for Louisiana, which outshot NIU 12-11 with each team placing eight shots on goal. Lentz added four saves for the Huskies with Quidzinski taking five of NIU's 11 shot attempts.
Â
Louisiana will wrap up its trip to the upper Midwest on Sunday when it visits Chicago State (0-3-0) in a 1 p.m. contest.
