The Dragons picked a good day to pull out a clutch, come-from-behind victory, thrilling the large Senior Day crowd in beating Ferris State in a close GLIAC matchup 2-1 in overtime.

The Dragons fell behind after a Bulldogs' goal in the 35th minute, but the goal served as a wakeup call for TU, as they scored one minute later to tie the score at 1-1 at the half. Lauren Merriman took a corner kick from Shelly Rogers and drilled it home from 18 yards out for the goal.

TU scored quickly, with Lauren Turkington knocking home a 15 yard shot off a touch pass from Lauren Bowyer for the gamewinner in the 95th minute.

Overall the Dragons outshot Ferris State 23-10 and had an 8-1 edge in corner kicks. Denise Resende got the win in goal, making 5 saves in 95 minutes while allowing one goal.
