The Liberty League Tournament's Most Outstanding Performer at the 2021 Women's Soccer Championship, William Smith College senior midfielder Merilyn Hinrichs scored the game-winning goal in the 107th minute (double overtime). Her golden goal clinched William Smith's 14th consecutive Liberty League tournament title. She intercepted a clearing pass, dribbled around a defender and ripped a shot that bounced off the crossbar and spun into the lower right corner of the cage. Hinrichs also set up Julia Keogh's game-winning goal in the semifinal victory over RIT.
