Indianapolis, Ind. -
With the contest tied at zero and less than 30 seconds remaining in double overtime, Lewis University junior forward Robert Zieba (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) figured why not?

Zieba unleashed a rocket from 30-yards out, past Indianapolis goalkeeper Andrew Verhonik for the game-winner with 23 seconds remaining, as the Lewis men's soccer team claimed the 1-0 (2 OT) Great Lakes Valley Conference win over the host Greyhounds at Key Stadium on Sunday (Oct. 26) afternoon.

Lewis senior defender Michael Pyle (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard South) assisted on the golden goal by Zieba.

The win is also Lewis head men's soccer coach Evan Fiffles' 300th victory as the Flyers' head coach and clinches fourth-place overall in the GLVC, which guarantees a home playoff game on Sunday, November 2nd. Time and opponent to be determined.

"It was a playoff-type game atmosphere," Fiffles said. "Either team could have won it.

"We can play better, but I'm proud of the effort (today)."

As a team, Indianapolis outshot Lewis, 21-7, with both team registering five shots on goal. Lewis goalkeeper Omar Ramirez (Houston, Texas/Elsik) made five saves to earn his seventh shutout of the season, while Verhonik made four stops.

Lewis returns to action on Wednesday (Oct. 29), as the Flyers head to Kenosha, Wis., to square off with UW-Parkside for a 1:30 PM first kick.
