FAYETTE, Mo. – Top-seeded Central Methodist University scored seconds into the 110th minute on Saturday to earn a 3-2 win over the three-seeded Raven Women's Soccer team in the 2019 Heart Tournament Championship match.

With the loss, the Ravens miss out on earning the Heart Tournament Champion automatic bid, but since CMU was also the regular-season Heart Champion, the Ravens earn the Heart's second automatic bid by virtue of finishing as runner up.

The scoring went back and forth until the end. Benedictine struck first during the 25th minute. Megan Homoly sent in a free-kick that was headed into the net by Emily Ambuul. The Ravens led 1-0 at the half before CMU answered in the 54th minute on a failed clearing pass by Benedictine.

Benedictine regained the lead during the 58th minute as the Isabelle Wilhelm bent in a corner kick off the hands of CMU keeper Shelia Sanchez. The Ravens maintained their advantage until the 77th minute when the Eagles pulled even at 2-2.

Despite outshooting the Ravens 4-1 in the first overtime period, the Eagles could not push anything past Benedictine keeper Ashley Rehagen. Rehagen tallied three saves through the first overtime and added two more in the second before the game-winner from the Eagles with just over one minute left before the match would have headed to a Shootout. After playing just over 64 minutes in goal, Rehagen finished with 11 saves.

The field for the 36th annual NAIA Women's Soccer National Championship will be announced via a Facebook Live selection show at 11 a.m. on Monday. The format of the postseason has changed this season with 45 teams earning a bid into the tournament with host University of Mobile (Ala.).
