Freshman Presley Ormsby scored with 10 seconds remaining to give the Buccaneers a thrilling road victory.

Goalkeeper Caeli Sullivan had an excellent performance with eight saves. 

The Buccaneers tied the score in the 58th minute, and just before the match went into a 30-minute lightning delay. 

Hicks was able to keep a long throw-in from going over the end line. She made several great moves to keep control of the ball and eventually found Lauber in front of the goal for a tap-in.
