HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- Host Houghton scored the game-winning goal just 41 seconds into the first overtime period Tuesday as the Highlanders defeated Nazareth in a non-conference field hockey game, 2-1.

Nazareth dropped to 2-4 overall, while Houghton improved to 5-3.

Nazareth grabbed a 1-0 first-half lead when junior Kelly Flanagan scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season in less than five minutes before halftime.

Nazareth had a 15-10 edge in shots and sophomore goalie Kelsey Evans made three saves.
