HILO, Hawai'i – Hawai'i Pacific University senior Emily Madrid scored with 17 seconds remaining in the second golden goal overtime led the Sharks to a 3-2 non-conference win over island rival Hawai'i Hilo Saturday afternoon on the UH Hilo campus.
 
The Sharks (3-2-1) got a second half hat trick from Madrid to beat the Vulcans (1-3-1) in the non-conference affair.

The Sharks made a comeback in the second half.
 
Madrid, the senior from Porterville, Calif./Ramstein (Germany), got the Sharks on the board with her first goal of the game in the 59th minute off a feed from freshman Callie Rheaume of Camas, Wash./Camas to make it 2-1.
 
HPU still trailed inside of the last 10 minutes of regulation when Madrid struck again in the 84th minute. The senior evened the score at 2-2, picking up a loose ball near the goal and pushing it across the line to knot the score.
 
Despite solid opportunities, neither team would score again in regulation and sent the game to overtime.
 
HPU had a chance to end the contest in the first golden goal period. Madrid had a penalty kick, but the shot went over the bar to keep the match alive.
 
In the second extra frame, both teams had opportunities but it was the Sharks that had the magic. Madrid picked up the ball in the middle of a scrum in front of the goal and rifled it in with 17 seconds remaining to stun the home team.
 
The trio of goals has Madrid at seven goals on the season, one of the PacWest's leaders, and her fourth goal of the week.
