The game went into overtime after the late Dustdevil goal but that overtime did not last long. A foul was called on TAMIU roughly 30 seconds into the overtime period, setting up a Sean Strater free kick that from 40 yards out that skimmed off a Dustdevil defender before going into the net for the winning goal for the Rattlers.
