WINONA, Minn. — If the Saint Mary's University and Concordia women's soccer teams proved anything the last two seasons, it's that 90 minutes of soccer just isn't enough to determine a winner.
 
Two years ago, the two teams battled to a 0-0, double-overtime stalemate, and last season, the Cobbers escaped with a 3-2 victory, scoring three minutes into the first overtime period.
 
And Saturday was no different
 
For the third straight year, Saint Mary's and Concordia needed extra time to determine a winner — and thanks to Genesis Capacio (Las Vegas, Nev.), the Cardinals left Ochrymowycz Field with the victory.
 
Capacio picked the perfect opportunity to net her first collegiate goal, scoring in the second minute of the second overtime to lift the Cardinals to the 1-0 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference victory.
 
The Cardinals held an 11-4 advantage in shots — including a 5-2 edge in shots on goal.
 
Gabriella Pederson (Chaska, Minn.) — one of three seniors honored on Senior Day — did a perfect impersonation of a brick wall between the pipes for the Cardinals, stopping both first-half Cobber shots en route to her sixth shutout of the season and 13th of her collegiate career.
 
Erin Larsen made four saves in goal for the Cobbers, but could not come up with the stop on Capacio's 2 OT game-winner, which was assisted by Mary Loy (Burien, Wash.)
 
The Cardinals (1-6-0 MIAC, 7-6-0 overall) step out of conference play for a final time on Wednesday, heading to River Falls, Wis., for a 3 p.m. matchup against UW-River Falls. The Cobbers (1-6-0 MIAC, 8-6-0 overall), meanwhile, are now off until next Saturday, when they return home to Moorhead, Minn., for a 1 p.m. MIAC showdown against Gustavus
