With Penn trailing 13-10 in the fourth, the Quakers went on a run of their own, scoring four fourth quarter goals including one by Todd Minerley with 28 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 14-14 and send the contest into overtime.
With both teams unable to put the ball in the net during the first extra session, the game went into a second overtime stilled tied at 14-14. With 1:53 to go in the second extra frame, Dauer struck again drilling a shot past Penn goalie Ryan Kelly to give Villanova the 15-15 victory.
