Trinity Men's Soccer Scores Takes Thrilling OT Win At Connecticut College

New London, Conn. - Junior back Connor Reilly (Trumbull, Conn.) scored 5:47 into overtime Saturday to lift the visiting Trinity College Bantams to a 3-2 victory against the Connecticut College Camels in a New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) men's soccer match on Tempel Green this afternoon.  Trinity improves to 5-4 overall and 2-3 in the NESCAC, while the Camels drop to 3-4-1 overall and 1-3-1 in the league.

Trinity junior midfielder Wesley Updike (Cambridge, Mass.) assisted on the game-winner, while Bantam junior forward Dan Mayernick (Gladwyne, Pa.) and junior tri-captain back Joe Buckley (Shrewsbury, Mass.) both scored second half markers for the visitors.  Connecticut College senior Trevor Prophet (Nashua, N.H.) netted the first goal of the game on a penalty kick and assisted on a goal by Oscar Brown (Ridgefield, Conn.).  Junior keeper Grant Schonberg (Mendham, N.J.) made 10 saves in the victory for the visitors, and Casey Marini (Hampden, Mass.) had two stops for the Camels.

The Camels took a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute. Mike Crosby (Sudbury, Mass.) launched a long throw in from the right side. Prophet received it at the near post and chipped it to Randy Pearce (Wyckoff, N.J.) who dished the ball off to Oscar Brown, who found the back of the net with his third goal of the season.  The Bantams rallied late for the equalizer in the 89th minute of action. Peter Marlette (Buffalo, N.Y.) chipped a shot that caromed off the top of the crossbar and Buckley headed in the rebound to tie the game at two.  Reilly scored the game-winner on a header with 4:13 remaining in the first overtime to secure the victory for the Bantams.
