OT Thriller: Men's Soccer Tops UM-Dearborn 2-1

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich.  – In a game played at Comstock Park High School due to poor field conditions at the Cornerstone soccer field, Christian Galloway played the hero on Wednesday night scoring the golden goal in a dramatic 2-1 OT win against UM-Dearborn. The Golden Eagles scored the first goal of the game in the 53rd minute on a Nate Kaercher header. Then, in the 78th minute, a CU own goal off of a long, fluky Wolverine throw in equalized the game. In OT, less than a minute went by when Nate Kaercher found Christian Galloway on a cross to win the game.
 
The Highlights:
  • The match started off with three corner kicks in the first four minutes, though none of the attempts threatened to find the back of the net.
  • Cornerstone had four straight shots midway through the first half, capped by David Mawi, coming off a two-goal performance in the last game, hitting the post.
  • In the 40th minute, Jason Lugo had a shot that went just wide left of the goal.
  • In the 53rd minute, Christian Galloway chased a ball down the line and struck a cross to the far post. David Mawi headered the ball in front of the net and Nate Kaercher put it away with a header of his own for a 1-0 CU lead.
  • Cornerstone kept up the offensive pressure as Jeff Herrema took a close range shot off a rebound that the UM-Dearborn goalie got a fingertip on to push the ball wide right. 
  • The Wolverines had a few shots late in the game and finally secured the equalizer on a CU own goal in the 78th minute.
  • The Golden Eagles had a few opportunities in the final minute of regulation, but could not find the back of the net.
  • In the first minute of OT, Nate Kaercher went on a long run and sent a cross through the 18 yard box where Christian Galloway put a foot on the ball to score the game winner for a 2-1 Cornerstone win.
 
By the Numbers: 
19/7 – The Golden Eagles outshot the Wolverines 19-7 in regulation and OT.
3/3 – Points by Nate Kaercher and Christian Galloway in this match. Kaercher scored the first goal and provided the game-winning assist.
