Valparaiso, Indiana—With a goal late in the first overtime period by Allison Bitter, the University of Northern Iowa women's soccer team improves to 11-3-1 on the season and 3-2 in MVC action.
Sydney Hayden put the Panthers ahead in the 13th minute, on a assist from Sarah Brandt. It was Hayden's third goal of the season and Brandt's sixth assist.

Bitter scored in the 97th minute for the Panthers, earning her first goal this season.
"I'm really happy for the team with the week that we have had. Our game on Tuesday was moved due to weather and then today as well. We put that aside and had one of our best performances this season," commented UNI head coach Bruce Erickson.
