Valparaiso (2-0-1) remains unbeaten on the season.
Following the booking of a Kent State player in the 85th minute, the Crusaders re-started, and Ludwig eventually came up with a touch on the right flank just outside the area. Off-balance and with a Golden Flashes defender bearing down on her, the rookie struck a right-footed shot which eluded goalkeeper Stephanie Senn and made its away inside the post for the equalizer.
Kent State originally claimed the lead just under 20 minutes into the second half, as a combination play got the ball to the foot of Stephanie Haugh, who struck a shot into the upper half of the goal from 20 yards out to put the Golden Flashes on the scoreboard.
Each side would put just one shot on goal over the pair of overtime periods as well. Kent State had the best chance in extra time, as Jaclyn Dutton took a free kick from straight on just outside the box and rattled the crossbar. Off the rebound, the Golden Flashes found the back of the net, but they had been flagged for offside prior to the shot.

The Ramblers could not recover in the second half, failing to find the back of the net in five shots on goal.
No. 13 Marquette 4, No. ARV Milwaukee 0
Marquette scored a pair of goals in each half and Milwaukee could not get its offense on track in a 4-0 loss to the Golden Eagles.
The loss is the first of the season Milwaukee (1-1-1), while MU improves to 2-0.
Marquette got onto the board quickly, striking in just the 10th minute when Maegan Kelly set up Rachael Sloan for the eventual game-winner. The second goal was courtesy of unfortunate defending, as the Panthers had two chances to clear, but was unable to get the ball to their feet to do so. After a second short header, Emily Jacobson headed the ball back into the box to Kate Reigle, who out the ball into the net from 12 yards.
It was much of the same after halftime, as Milwaukee was never able to get its footing in the game offensively. The Golden Eagles, however, generated a number of chances and added a pair of goals after halftime, with Cara Jacobson and Ally Miller getting on the board for the home team.
MU finished with a decisive 21-3 shot advantage and forced all 11 of the game's corner kicks. Forbes finished with six saves on the night. Her counterpart, Sofie Schunk, was not called on to make a save in her second shutout of the season.
