How to write regex to extract and index a field enclosed in quotations after a known string?

I have a set of logs which wasn't automatically parsed when indexed into Splunk.

I would like to extract a field from the logs, however the Interactive Field Extractor isn't picking up on the pattern. I would like to extract the second group of quotations after the phrase "SAML 2.0" (including the quotes) come up in the logs:

...."SAML 2.0" - - - "11.11.111.1111" "www.yahoo.com"

That's essentially how all of the logs look like. I was wondering how I could tell splunk to only extract the 2nd group of quotes after it sees SAML 2.0?
