SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Sophomore Alexa Krause scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime, lifting the Drew University women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory at Susquehanna University in the semifinals of the Landmark Conference Championships Tuesday evening.
 
With the victory, the third-seeded Rangers (11-5-2) move on to the conference final and will visit top-seeded University of Scranton on Saturday at a time to be determined.
 
Drew, which was making its first conference playoff appearance since 2014, advances to the Landmark final for the first time since 2013, when it tied Scranton 1-1 but captured the conference title by winning a shootout.
 
Krause's goal was her 15th of the season, which leads the Landmark Conference and ties her with three others for the sixth-most in team history.
 
A pair of Rangers combined on the shutout while making two saves apiece. Senior Anthi Panayides started and made a pair of saves in the opening half before sophomore Amina Cirkiel came on to stop two shots over the final 65 minutes.
 
Paisley Tornatore turned aside five shots for the second-seeded River Hawks (14-5).
 
Susquehanna outshot the Rangers 7-2 in the opening half and had a big scoring opportunity in the 23rd minute. Following a corner kick, the River Hawks put a shot on frame from point-blank range, but junior Lauren Geiger was there to clear it away.
 
Drew caught a break in the 38th minute, when a Susquehanna foul wiped out a header goal coming off another corner and it was a 0-0 game after one half of play.
 
The Rangers found a spark offensively in the second half, when they outshot SU 6-5. Krause, senior Sam Kievit, and junior Rebecca Racine all attempted shots on goal that were stopped by Tornatore.
 
Cirkiel came up with a big stop in the 63rd minute, gloving a rip from inside in the 63rd minute. She stopped another shot in the 88th minute on a long shot from top of the 18 as the match headed to overtime.
 
Per NCAA rule changes this year, if teams are tied at the end of a regulation in the postseason, two 10-minute overtime periods are played. In previous years, a "golden goal" would end the match.
 
In the first OT, the Rangers outshot the Hawks 2-1, and both of its shots were on goal. Krause got a step on a pair of defenders on the right wing in the final minute of the period and ripped a shot on net but right into the hands of Tornatore.
 
Susquehanna received a corner kick in the 105th minute, and it was headed out by junior Jessie Brannick. The ball was deflected all the way to midfield, but sophomore Isabella Grof-Tisza raced out to knock it way from a River Hawk and right to the feet off Krause in the center circle. She raced it down the field with only the goalie to beat, dribbled around the keeper at the top of the box, and shot the ball into a wide-open net for her seventh game-winner of the season.
 
The River Hawks managed just one shot the rest of the way, and it sailed high over the crossbar.
 
Susquehanna finished with a 14-11 advantage in shot and a 4-2 edge in corners. Krause led the rangers in both shots (four) and shots on goal (three).
