Reilyn Turner scored the lone goal in the 94th minute and helped the Portland Thorns to a 1-0 extra time victory over the San Diego Wave in the quarterfinals of the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs on Sunday.

After it finished scoreless in regulation, the 23-year-old forward found herself unmarked at the back post when Olivia Moultrie lofted a pass across the face of goal.

Turner punched the Thorns’ ticket to the semifinals with a thumping header in front of 19,309 fans at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon.

Prior to the goal, the Thorns’ best chance of the game fell to Moultrie in the 44th minute. Moultrie received the ball in space eight yards out, but, with just the Wave goalkeeper to beat, her shot thudded against the post.
