Fairfield's Chelsea Hicks finally figured out the Colonial defense 17 minutes into the second period on a scrum in front of the cage giving the stags a 1-0 advantage.
Robert Morris wouldn't back down that easily with 5:04 remaining on the clock. Schrott took a quick pass in front of the cage from teammate Junior Andrea Tasker (Duncannon, Pa. / Susquenita) to beat the Stags goaltender high-left for the 1-1 tie.
It was a physical five minutes of play to the end but the 1-1 tie would hold-up taking the game to a sudden-death overtime finale.
Fairfield's Emily Janus took matters into her own hands 1:33 into the extra time with an unassisted goal ending the game.
Junior Kate Dunlap (Centerport, Pa. / Schuylkill Valley) made nine saves in the game.
