Junior Carmelina Moscato started the final offensive surge, sending the ball in from past midfield. Senior Sophie Hiler was there in the box to head the ball to Weimer, who knocked it past Bonafede in the bottom right corner of the net.
The win was the 100th victory at Jeffrey Field and the 38th consecutive for Penn State. The Lions also finished the regular season with the best record in team history.
"[Navy] gave us a pretty good game," Weimer said. "We didn't expect that from them seeing their past results. We got through it and a win's a win."
Navy matched Penn State's offense in the first half and actually out-shot the Lions 4-3. It was arguably the worst half of soccer for the Lions all season.
Senior Jamie Stich, who started in goal on senior night, recorded the only save of the game for the Lions. Junior Erin McLeod took over in goal midway through the first half but did not see a shot on goal.
Her consecutive shutout streak is now at 854:57 and her team finished the month of October without giving up a goal (nine games).
"At the beginning of the game we weren't focused to capitalize on our chances," Penn State coach Paula Wilkins said. "As the game went on, the team got more focused and was able to put them under more pressure."
In the second half the Lions out-shot the Midshipmen 9-0, while getting six shots on goal. The chances were there, however the Lions could not squeeze one in.
"Unlucky," Hiler said about the first two halves. "Not to take anything away from their defense and goalie, but things just weren't falling for us tonight."
It took just one shot in overtime to finish the task that took a little too long for the seniors in their last regular season home game.
"We wanted to get it over early," said Hiler, who has a career high five goals and three assists this season. "We thought the sooner we could score the better. It's been great here for four years, and it was an awesome way to go out. Maybe it wasn't what we expected. Maybe we wanted to score a little earlier, but it was still fun."
For Weimer, it was her 22nd goal and 53rd point, both new career highs. She has now scored in 11 straight games.
Her overtime goal is just part of her job description.
"That's what good goal-scorers do," Wilkins said. "You can't complain with that, so it's well done by her."
Up next for the Lions is the Big Ten tournament. Penn State is the No. 1 seed and will play Indiana on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at Ohio State. The past two years have seen the Lions get upset in the first round both times. Navy might have been the wake-up call the Lions needed en route to the tournament.
"It makes us much better" Wilkins said, "because we can refocus and talk about this and get set for the Big Ten tournament."
