Cougar men drop UMAC opener in overtime

Box Score NEW ULM, Minn. - Just like the women earlier, the Minnesota Morris men's soccer team jumped out to an early 2-goal lead, but Martin Luther staged a rally and overtook the Cougars in overtime in the UMAC opener for both teams.

In the game's 14th minute, Luqman Barre scored the Cougars' first goal of the season on a penalty kick. Five minutes later, Austin Keller put home a loose ball in front giving Minnesota Morris a 2-0 lead.

Before the half, Martin Luther would cut UMM's lead in half as Aaron Swanson's goal in the 35th minute made it 2-1 at the break.

Aaron Markgraf tied the game on a penalty kick in the 56th minute. Both teams had multiple chances to notch a go-ahead goal, but neither team could break through and the game headed to overtime.

The Knights came out strong in the extra session forcing UMM goalie Cody Christ to make a pair of saves within the first minute. Less than a minute later though, Eric Dorn put in the golden goal on a cross to give MLC the 3-2 win.

Minnesota Morris (0-4, 0-1 in UMAC) hits the road again for their next contest, Saturday at Northland.
