WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Freshman Jordan Logan (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) drilled a 18-yard kick into the lower right netting in the 94^th minute to cap off a 3-2 overtime win for the Lycoming College men's soccer team against Arcadia University in the Commonwealth Conference Tournament semifinals on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 6, at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
 
The Warriors (15-2-3 overall) advance to the Commonwealth Conference championship game on Saturday, Nov. 8, against the winner of the Messiah and Alvernia semifinal that begins at 7 p.m. tonight.
 
Arcadia (9-7-2 overall) threatened first in the overtime, with Bradley McKim breaking through nearly right after the initial kick of the overtime and taking a shot that senior goalkeeper Connor Keenan (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) corralled, not letting a rebound up that would have led to an Arcadia score.
 
Two minutes later, Arcadia had an open look that sailed high and in the 93^rd minute, Arcadia had another chance that Keenan denied with a dive to his left. Off the restart, Keenan booted the ball past midfield and the Warriors won the ball out of the air, with sophomore Dom Haynes (Pocono Summit, Pa./Pocono Mountain East) getting control at his feet before an Arcadia defender stepped and sent it back to Logan, who fired a shot from 18 yards out.
 
"They created the first two chances in overtime," second-year Lycoming head coach Nate Gibboney said. "Fortunately, Connor grabbed the one shot, got a big punt and we won the flick, got behind their defense and our guys won with their work rate and fitness. We got the ball out wide to Dom, and he got shot off that was blocked that found Jordan. It was a great play by a bunch of guys to ultimately win us the game."
 
The Warriors got out to a quick start, scoring in the fifth minute, as freshman Abdullahi Abdi (Seattle, Wash./James Garfield) drove down the right sideline before finding freshman Duc Momo (Silver Spring, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase), who drilled a shot into the center of the net on a breakaway.
 
Just before halftime, the Knights answered back, as McKim beat the Warrior keeper with a pass to Wells. Wells beat a defender on the goalline, finding Daulton Rutter, who put it in the back of the net.
 
"It was a game with a lot of intensity and energy," Gibboney said. "It was great that we got out to an early lead.  Duc made a great play and scored a great goal. Our intensity level dropped a bit after that and they got a goal late in the half. We were able to keep fighting back, though."
 
The Warriors got back on top in the 62^nd minute. Freshman Keenthy Yeboah (Silver Spring, Md./Montgomery Blair) found Momo, who took a shot from eight yards out that trickled off the goalie's hands and into the back of the net. Arcadia wouldn't go away quietly, though, as David Colombo headed in a corner kick in the 73^rd minute to retie the game and send it to overtime.
 
"It was disappointing to give up two set-piece goals," Gibboney said. "It just wasn't characteristic of our guys and what they do, but I give a lot of credit to their guys for making plays."
 
The Warriors outshot the Knights, 17-15, and held a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks, in the tough contest. Keenan made a season-high nine saves while allowing two goals, while Arcadia keeper Chris Watson was forced to stop four shots in the loss.
 
The Warriors are now 2-0-2 in their last four Commonwealth Conference Tournament games, with all four heading into extra time.
