OREM, Utah—Brooklyn Nielsen reached up and tipped a ball over the goal in the final minute of the second overtime period to help Utah Valley secure a 0-0 tie against in-state rival Utah and extend its home unbeaten streak to 13 matches.
 
With less than a minute to play in the final overtime, Utah Valley (4-2-1) withstood a pair of Utah corner kicks to keep its Clyde Field unbeaten streak alive. Utah's Tavia Leachman headed a Utah corner kick on target with 50 seconds to play but UVU's Nielsen jumped up and tipped the ball over the goal to help the Wolverines secure the draw.
 
"We love playing here at Clyde Field," said Utah Valley head coach Brent Anderson. "There was a lot of energy here tonight from our players, students and fans. I thought the girls stayed focused throughout the match, which is difficult to do against a very good Utah team. I'm pleased with the way that we stayed organized. I really appreciated their tactical savvy tonight. At the end of the day, we created some good scoring opportunities and our girls can be very proud of their effort tonight. Our defense was excellent. Brooklyn had some great saves in goal and kept the shutout for us. I'm just very pleased with the effort tonight."
 
Nielsen recorded her second shutout of the season in the box for the Wolverines. The freshman keeper tallied five saves on Utah's seven shots. She now owns a 2-1-1 record on the season.
