Men’s Soccer Dealt Heartbreaking Overtime Loss by Dominican (NY)

A third straight overtime victory was not to be for Goldey-Beacom, which gave up a gut-wrenching goal 7:24 into the first extra period for a tough 2-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss to Dominican (NY) at Nancy Churchman Sawin Field in Wilmington, DE.
 
The partisan crowd was into it early in the sixth minute when the Lightning grabbed a 1-0 lead.  Manuel Berto (Valencia, Spain) had a great cross and fellow sophomore Omar Hernandez (West Grove, PA) was right there to bury it for his fourth goal of the season and ninth career.
 
The physical encounter which featured 38 fouls and nine yellow cards was a tussle throughout in which the Chargers found a way to level in the 59th minute.  Luis DelPezo had consecutive shots blocked, Hallvard Kuloey then had his attempt saved before Vincent Piccoli put home the rebound for his third tally of the year.
 
Dominican looked like it would take the lead in the 83rd minute as Lukas Nordin put a shot on cage, but sophomore midfielder Mateus Silvestre (Picarras, Brazil) continued his more-than-impressive year by heading it off the line to keep the match at level pegging.
 
It was Goldey-Beacom's turn to hope for a late goal in regulation as Dominican committed a foul with eight seconds left roughly 40 yards from the net.  The free kick was perfectly placed and there was sophomore Billy Swontek (Lewes, DE) for the header, but his attempt was thwarted by a leaping Steven Hegner in goal to force overtime.
 
A free kick just outside the box for the Chargers in overtime proved to be the difference as the Lightning were denied a school-record fourth overtime win.  Nicholas Mavilla had his shot stopped by freshman Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa), but Fernando Gutierrez buried the rebound for his first goal of the year.
 
Hernandez attempted four shots and Bismilla did all he could with five saves for GBC (5-10, 3-6 CACC).
 
DelPezo and Nordin had three shots apiece and Hegner amassed three saves for the Chargers (5-8, 5-4), who ended with a 19-9 shots edge that included 15-5 following halftime.
 
Goldey-Beacom on Tuesday makes the short trip to Newark for a tough battle against Wilmington (DE).  The match will begin at 3:30 pm.
