Akron, Ohio -- A goal by Katrina Atkinson in the 99th minute lifted Akron past the Youngstown State women's soccer team, 1-0, in overtime on Friday evening First Energy Stadium Cub Cadet Field.
With just 1:32 left in the first overtime period, Atkinson drove into the middle of the penalty box and scored when her shot deflected off the left post into the goal.
