RENSSELAER, Ind. -- The Lady Miner soccer team probably don't want to play more than 90 minutes every night, but if that's what they need to win a game, they will gladly accept the extra time.
For the second straight game, UMR went beyond the 90-minute mark to get a victory, as Erin Rouse scored 4:21 into overtime to give the Lady Miners a 2-1 victory over Saint Joseph's for their third straight win.
Rouse converted the only shot taken by either team in overtime off a pass from Kim Morris to end the game. It was Rouse's second goal of the night and season, giving UMR its first three-game winning streak since its won four in a row in October 2003.
Saint Joseph's grabbed the lead on a goal by Rachel Cobean just 2:09 into play, but Rouse tied the score at the 20:24 mark when she scored off an assist from Sarah Herrig.
From there, it was up to UMR goalkeeper Brittany Parker to keep the Pumas at bay until the Lady Miners could score the winning goal. Saint Joseph's outshot UMR 15-9 in the game, including an 11-4 margin in the second half. Parker made nine saves in the game, six of them coming after the intermission.
UMR improved to 3-12-1 overall and 3-7-1 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play heading into its GLVC finale Sunday at Indianapolis.
