Kansas City, Mo. - The Lewis University men's soccer team was the beneficiary of some timely help from Rockhurst, as the Flyers scored an own goal off of a Hawks' defender in the 108th minute to earn the 2-1 double overtime victory at Bourke Field on Sunday (Sept. 21) afternoon.

The winning score happened following a Lewis corner kick that sailed in front of the Rockhurst net. In the mad scramble for the ball, a Rockhurst defender inadvertently scored on his own goal to give the Flyers the winning tally.

With the victory, Lewis extends their unbeaten streak to five matches and improves to 4-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 in GLVC action. Rockhurst falls to 3-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play.

"I'm happy for the guys," Lewis head men's soccer coach Evan Fiffles said. "They worked hard, but we still have a long way to go and we need to keep improving."

Following a scoreless first half, Rockhurst struck first in the 55th minute, as freshman forward Kaleb Jackson beat Flyer goalkeeper Omar Ramirez (Houston, Texas/Elsik) from seven yards out inside the right post. Classmate Adam Michel assisted on the play.

Lewis sophomore midfielder Nicholas Monteiro (Brasillia, Brazil/School of the Nations) posted the equalizer at the 62:31 mark, as his free kick from 40 yards out, snuck past Hawks' netminder Stefano Radio to even the score at 1-apiece.

Ramirez and Radio both made six saves on the afternoon.

As a team, Rockhurst outshot Lewis, 16-12, while the Flyers held an 8-7 advantage in shots on goal.

Lewis returns to action on Friday (Sept. 26), as they take on UIS in Springfield, Ill. First kick is slated for 5 PM.
