BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The No. 20-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies scored in the 98th minute to upset the No. 4-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, 2-1, in overtime on Sunday afternoon at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

On a corner kick, Wedderburn delivered a great ball to the near post. Gutman flicked the ball back to Lillard, who headed it home from five yards out to knot the game at 1-1.
In overtime, IU had the bulk of possession, but the Hokies were able to find the winner on a wonder-strike from Forrest White, who curled in the game winner off the left post and in from the top of the 18-yard box.
