Stephens gets game-winner 11-seconds after UHSP ties it late

COLUMBIA, MO – Lyla Stegmann scored her eighth goal of the season for what she thought might be the goal to forge a tie with Stephens, but just 11 seconds following that, Moriah Carnahan finished off a career game with her fourth goal of the game and the deciding tally in a 5-4 win for the Stars.
