The senior captain's smile is still sparkling.

"I have not come down from the high of that game yet," Nyen said. "It was exciting."

The two biggest goals of Nyen's career propelled Chanhassen to victory in its section final and to its second consecutive state tournament appearance. The sixth-ranked Storm (13-3) were the runner-up a year ago.

"It was clear that she wanted to win that game and was going to do everything possible to make that happen," Chanhassen coach Carly Goetz said. "Tatumn's performance showed her heart and how much she is willing to give of herself for a win."

Nyen scored with 1 minute, 18 seconds remaining in the second overtime, giving the Storm a 16-15 victory over No. 8 Eden Prairie. It was her fifth goal of the game and 31st of the season.

'We worked really hard for the winning goal," Nyen said. "It was very stressful."

She scored the equalizer with 14 seconds remaining. The midfielder's other three goals came in the first half.

"I was trying to do anything to extend our season," Nyen said. "The tying goal was so spectacular. I thought I was dreaming."
