Ceccolini then responded with Dukes first goal of the evening moments later when she scored off a double assist from sophomore back Courtney Sommer (Tulsa, Okla.) and senior forward Emily Ford (Harwich, Mass.) with 29:40 remaining in the second half. Ceccolini then sealed the win in overtime with a goal off a penalty corner with an assist by junior midfielder Keri Dunn (Scituate, Mass.)
