It was the second straight double-overtime contest to open the season for USD, which moves to 1-0-1 with the victory while the Golden Bears fall to 1-1-0.
Ervin, who moved into a tie with Teri Atkinson for second place on the South Dakota all-time career goals scored list with 23 thanks to game-winner, ended the game after connecting for USD's first goal of the year with 9:03 left in the contest. Junior midfielder Katie Cerling got her third career assist on Ervin's goal.
