Corvallis, Ore. --- Brenna Ochoa's shot found the net from 25 yards out in the first minute of the second overtime to help the Nebraska soccer team defeat Oregon State, 2-1, on Sunday. 

Nebraska (3-1-0) and Oregon State battled back and forth for most of the first half, but neither team was able to score until the 45th minute. Haley Hanson connected off a corner kick from Sydney Miramontez to give the Huskers a 1-0 lead over the Beavers heading into halftime. 

Early in the second half, Oregon State's Sabrina Santarossa tied the game after scoring off a free kick. The Huskers took five shots in the second half, but weren't able to score. Oregon State fired one more shot that half, but didn't score, pushing the game to overtime.
