Box Score WILMINGTON, Del. – The Goldey-Beacom College defense cleared two balls off of the goal line in the second half, giving its offense an opportunity to score in the fourth minute of overtime and earn a 2-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference men's soccer victory over visitng Felician College on Sunday afternoon at Churchman-Sawin Field.
Goldey-Beacom senior striker Luiz Ristow (Joinville, Brazil) scored the game-winner for his ninth goal of the season. Sophomore Erik Tapper (Linkoming, Sweden) sent a cross from the right corner that Ristow was able to head inside the near post with three minutes, 22 seconds, gone by in extra time.
Felician freshman goalkeeper John Burns (Saddle Brook, N.J.) made five first-half saves to help keep the match scoreless at halftime, and the visitors experienced a bit of back luck when a Chris Hall (Newcastle, England) shot hit the crossbar in the 23rd minute. The Lightning then dented the scoreboard in the 64th minute on a 35 yard blast from freshman Cameron Wilkinson (Terrigal, Australia) that clanged off the inside of the right post and into the goal.
