So., D, 5-10, Hamburg, Germany
Persiehl provided the overtime game-winner at No. 13 Boston College. After the Stags rallied from a two-goal deficit to force an extra session, Persiehl ended the Sunday matinee in the 62nd minute when she converted off of a corner by blasting a shot past BC keeper Sarah Dwyer. The goal allowed Fairfield to escape Newton, MA with an historic win. Topping the feat achieved when Robert Morris defeated No. 15 Ohio in 2011, the Stags became the first-ever NEC team to beat an opponent ranked as highly as 13th in the NFHCA Top 25 Poll.
