The junior co-MVP of the Big Sky Conference scored the game-winning goal Saturday, lifting Northern Arizona to a 2-1 win over No. 1 seed Weber State in the championship game of the league tournament.
Odorfer missed the 2004 season with a knee injury, missed the 2007 season with an injury, and hasn't practiced in a month because of another knee injury. But it was Odorfer who pounded home a loose ball in the 84th minute following a corner kick as the Lumberjacks won their first ever Big Sky tournament title.
Northern Arizona entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed. The Lumberjacks (12-6-3) beat Portland State 1-0 in a semifinal on Thursday.
Northern Arizona had lost championship matches in 1999, 2000 and 2005. The 2005 loss came to Weber State under current coach Andre Luciano.
