STANDISH — Husson had the edge in the fourth round of a stroke-off Wednesday to defeat St. Joseph's 2-1 in the semifinals of the North Atlantic Conference field hockey tournament.

Skye Ellis scored with no time remaining in regulation for the fourth-seeded Eagles (8-7, 4-3 NAC) to send the game to overtime. Courtney Allen sent a penalty corner from the right side into a cluster of players, and Ellis gained control and put it past Monks goalie Meaghan Johnson, who made nine saves.

NCAA rules state a game will be prolonged to permit the completion of a penalty corner both at halftime and the end of regulation.

Julia Ostrowski scored in the first minute of the second half to give the top-seeded Monks (14-4, 7-0) a 1-0 lead.

Kristen Capen had 12 saves for the Eagles.

Taryn Flagg scored in the 63rd minute to pull UNE within one, but six minutes later Emily Widdison scored for the Bison.
