KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Hannah Wilkinson continued her climb up the Tennessee record charts with both of the Volunteers' goals in Sunday afternoon's 2-1 overtime victory over Indiana State at Regal Soccer Stadium.

Wilkinson scored her ninth-career game-winning goal with a first-class finish from 18 yards out in overtime to help UT end its two-game losing streak. With her two goals today, the New Zealand native moved into a three-way tie for third on Tennessee's all-time goals list with 28. She also moved up to fifth on the Vols' career scoring list with 71 points.

The Big Orange (7-6, 2-3 SEC) jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Wilkinson's first goal of the game in the 24th minute. Indiana State goalkeeper Brittany San Roman gave up a big rebound on a Rylie O'Keefe free kick and Wilkinson was in perfect position for an easy tap-in goal.

UT had a couple of quality chances to add to its lead midway through the first half, but Mackenzie Gouner sent a shot over the bar on a breakaway in the 29th minute and Mady Hairston slid a shot just wide after beating multiple Sycamores' defenders with a great individual run in the 31st minute.

Later in the half, the Vols drew a penalty kick after Gouner was taken down in the box, but O'Keefe missed the attempt wide left. Tennessee outshot the Sycamores, 12-1, in the opening 45 minutes, but had to settle for a 1-0 lead at the break.

The second half was very similar to the first with UT racking up shots but unable to find the back of the net. Indiana State (6-8, 1-1 MVC) took advantage of the Vols' inability to put the game away as Pam Silies scored to tie the game with just over five minutes remaining. Despite a 28-6 shot advantage at the end of regulation, the Orange and White were forced to go to overtime for the second straight game.

Looking to avoid their second consecutive overtime loss after dropping Friday's contest to Vanderbilt, the Vols jumped all over the Sycamores from the onset, nearly scoring on a header by Ariel Kupritz that hit the bottom of the crossbar in the 95th minute. Not even a minute later, Carlyn Baldwin won the ball in the midfield and sprung Wilkinson on a breakaway. The Vols' leading scorer caught San Roman off her line and chipped the ball into the right side of the net for her team-leading sixth goal of the season to give Tennessee the victory.

The Vols had eleven players record multiple shots in the match, led by Wilkinson's five, and finished with a season-high 32 shots while holding Indiana State to just six. Sophomore goalkeeper Shae Yanez earned her third win of the year after splitting time with Jamie Simmons in net.

With the win, Tennessee improved to 5-1 in games played on Sunday and capped off its non-conference portion of the schedule with a 5-3 record. The Volunteers travel to play LSU on Thursday before returning home to host Texas A&M on Sunday at 5 p.m.
