Silvestre’s Overtime Winner Gives Men’s Soccer 4-3 Victory Over Nyack



Mateus Silvestre's second goal of the match was a golden one, converting a great pass from fellow sophomore Cameron Wilkinson (Terrigal, Australia) in the 97th minute to give Goldey-Beacom a crucial 4-3 overtime win in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play in Wilmington, DE.
 
The scoring tone was set in the seventh minute when Artur Zvinchuk (Bonn, Germany) got a pass from fellow sophomore Fernando Sanchez (Madrid, Spain) and scored to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead.  Simon Kraemer got the first of his three goals for Nyack by converting a pass from Francois Legoedec, who got his league-leading 11th assist, in the 20th minute.
 
The Warriors took their first lead, 2-1, in the 25th minute as Kraemer chipped one in off a feed from Pablo Montes.  But the Lightning got the equalizer three minutes later when Wilkinson directed in a great through ball from sophomore Manuel Berto (Valencia, Spain).
 
The match had great offense, but it also had spectacular goalkeeping from Nyack freshman Wiktor Lasota.  Staring at a penalty kick, Lasota saved the attempt from senior Daniel Bennett (Pittsgrove, NJ) in the 41st minute and then stopped Silvestre's rebound.
 
Silvestre got his first collegiate goal in the 51st minute, watching his corner kick from the left go directly inside the right post for a 3-2 contest.  But Nyack struck back five minutes later and it was that guy Kraemer again, banging home a penalty kick for his ninth goal of the season.
 
GBC had its chances to regain the lead in regulation, but could not convert.  Silvestre's initial attempt to be the hero sailed high in the 66th minute and junior Joe Traynor (Warminster, PA) had a great look with six minutes left sail wide.
 
Then came extra time and the Lightning took advantage right after Wilkinson and Silvestre checked into the match.  Wilkinson played a long ball on the right side that Silvestre corralled and put inside the post for the Lightning's second golden-goal victory of the year.
 
Silvestre attempted eight shots with six on cage and freshman Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa) made a season-high eight saves for the Lightning (4-9, 3-5 CACC).
 
Kraemer amassed eight shots, all on net, and Lasota came up with eight saves for the Warriors (5-6, 4-3).
 
Goldey-Beacom has little time to celebrate as it is right back at it Wednesday for a non-conference match against Pitt-Johnstown, starting at 1:00 pm.
