Johnson State College (4-7, 2-3 NAC) didn't need much extra time to hand Mitchell College a 3-2 loss in overtime on Wednesday afternoon in a non-conference women's soccer tilt at Alumni Field.

A free kick taken by Shannon Grier just 31 seconds into the overtime stanza was enough to propel the Badgers to victory. Grier placed a 35-yard strike on frame for the game-winning goal and her first tally of the season.

Johnson State jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the 25^th minute on a finish from Mikaela Rutter, whose strike crossed the goal line just under the crossbar. Mitchell answered in the 38^th minute when sophomore midfielder Vannessa Ortiz notched her third goal on the season. She settled a ball at the top of the 18-yard box and finished her shot far post to even the game at 1-1.

Three minutes later, freshman Drew Johndrow found the back of the net to give the Mariners a one-goal advantage headed into the break. She collected a through ball from teammate Taylor Saja on the box and netted a strike far post for her first collegiate score.

The Badgers tallied their equalizer in the 67^th minute on a finish from Jenna Paul . Paul was on the back end of a give-and-go with teammate Kylie Aither that resulted in a finish to the left side of the goal.

The game was decided in the early seconds of overtime when Johnson State was awarded a free kick on a Mitchell foul 35 yards out from goal. Grier took the restart and notched the game winner on a top-shelf strike.

Nichole Weeks notched 4 saves in net for the Badgers in her third win on the season. Senior goalkeeper Katie McBride finished with 4 saves for Mitchell.
