The Vikings, who remained undefeated at 5-0, trailed 1-0 before Ryan Culbertson scored with 3:18 left in regulation time to tie the score. Luis Heiter-Piffer scored the game winner for Grand View just 33 seconds into the second overtime stanza.
Morningside, which fell to 0-3, had taken a 1-0 lead on a goal by Rick Kievits at the 65-minute mark.
