In the third minute of overtime, UCLA's Anika Rodriguez broke through the NU backline and put a ball to the lower left corner of the goal that just barely got by Clem's diving effort.

Northwestern ends the 2017 season with 11 shutouts, the second-most in a single season in program history. The Wildcats finished second in the Big Ten regular season and as runner-ups in the Big Ten Tournament.
