Men's Soccer Stuns Fairleigh Dickinson, 1-0, in Double Overtime

Freshman Neil Ouska's goal 58 seconds into the second overtime lifted the Mount St. Mary's men's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson on Sunday afternoon. It was Ouska's first collegiate goal.

The Mount (4-9-4) scored the winning goal after being awarded a free kick from 25 yards out. Vinnie Berry lofted the ball into the penalty box where it was headed by Brandon Moncrief to Ouska, who was wide open right in front of the goal. Ouska buried the shot to give the Mount the victory.

Fairleigh Dickinson had the best scoring chance in regulation when Samson Malijani broke in one-on-one with Mount goalkeeper Mark Murphy with just under 13 minutes left in the game. Murphy, however, came up with the save to preserve the tie. In the final minute, FDU's Chris Wymer also had a clean shot on goal, but he missed the net.

Murphy made three saves in the game to earn the shutout victory while Fairleigh Dickinson goalkeeper Tomer Chencinski made two saves in the loss. Shots in the game were tied at 10-10 while the Knights had a 5-to-2 advantage in corner kicks.

The Mount played the spoiler role in the game, preventing Fairleigh Dickinson (9-4-4, 6-1-2 NEC) from clinching the Northeast Conference regular season title, which the Knights would have earned with a victory today. With the loss, FDU finishes second in the league.

The Mount had five seniors play their final game in a Mount uniform. The five seniors, Steve Dellamore, Pierre Del Aguila, Moncrief, Murphy and Jeffrey Ormiston each started for the Mount in the game.
