Each team had a few opportunities to take the lead in the second half but Cropper and Peck came up with several nice saves to send the game into overtime.

"These are two well-matched teams," Gillie said. "There were moments each team had the momentum."

Luckily, for Gillie and the Lions, they were the ones that ended with the momentum when Nielson connected on his 60-yard free kick.

"I don't know what you can say," Gillie said. "He's known for that. He's got a leg."
