The St. Lawrence University women's hockey team trailed Mercyhurst 5-2, scored three goals in less than one minute and 30 seconds to force overtime, and with 2.2 seconds to play in the extra frame, Anna Segedi found the back of the net to record one of the best comebacks in Saints hockey history and a 6-5 overtime win over Mercyhurst on Saturday afternoon at Appleton Arena.

After the Saints posted a 5-1 win over Mercyhurst on Friday night, the game looked to be a rebound contender for the Lakers, as goals from Marielle Parks and Thea Johansson gave Mercyhurst a 2-0 by the end of the first period.

Early in the second, Taylor Lum caught Lakers goaltender Ena Nystrom out of position and brought the game back within one with a shot from the red line, but a short-handed goal from Vanessa Upson put the Lakers up 3-1 heading into the third period.

After Johansson scored her second of the game with an empty-net tally to seemingly put the game away, the Saints comeback began.

With 2:21 to play, head coach Chris Wells pulled Emma-Sofie Nordström for an extra attacker.

Julia Gosling netted her first of the game on the power play at 18:43 of the third period and less than 30 seconds later Sarah Marchand tipped a hard shot from Kristina Bahl to bring the Scarlet and Brown back within one.

After a scrum in front of Laker's goal, Gosling poked the puck past Nystrom to tie the game with just 3.8 seconds remaining in regulation for her second of the game.  

With about four seconds to play in overtime, Gosling picked the puck off a Laker's stick, it was then wrangled up by Segedi, who beat Nystrom five hole for the stellar overtime victory.



"In all my years of coaching I've never seen something like that!" said head coach Chris Wells. "The energy in Appleton and how we continued to push through was something we will be able to rely on the remainder of the season. To have it happen on this weekend with all of our alumni back only puts a exclamation on it."

Nordström picked up her second win of the season with 26 saves, while Nystrom made 42 for the Lakers.

St. Lawrence outshot Mercyhurst 48-31 and finished 1-for-2 on the power play, while the Lakers went 0-for-4, but notched a short-handed tally.

The Saints will continue their fall home stretch with a pair of games against Providence next weekend, October 6^th and 7^th.
