Lewis Men's Soccer Rallies To Beat Truman State 4-3 (2 OT) On Mueller Goal

Flyers come back from 3-1 deficit to win

Romeoville, Ill. - Nico Mueller (Braunschweig, Germany/Raabeschule Braunschweig) scored with 1:13 left in double overtime to give the Lewis University men's soccer team a 4-3 win over Truman State Sunday (Oct. 22) in a Great Lakes Valley Conference match at Lewis Stadium.

Mueller has scored the past four game-winning goals for the Flyers (11-4, 10-3 GLVC).

Truman took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute on a goal from Michael Ruzicka, with an assist from Matt Yankowitz.

Lewis tied the game at 1-1 in the 34th minute when Mueller found the back of the net on a pass from Claude Kameni (Berlin, Germany/OSZ Gesundheit).

The Bulldogs (4-12-1, 3-10-1) answered in the 42nd minute when Mateo Montano scored on a header off a corner kick from Brian Kane.

Montano scored again in the 52nd minute on another header, this time off apass from Austin Morgan, to make it a 3-1 Truman lead.

Less than a minute later the Flyers answered when Devon Amoo-Mensah (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) connected on a header off a free kick from John Horstman (Godfrey, Ill./Marquette Catholic) at the 35-yard line to cut the Flyer deficit to 3-2.

The Flyers tied the game at 3-3 in the 76th minute when Horstman scored on a penalty kick.

That set up the game-winning goal, when Mueller scored off a Marty Manzke (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) corner kick to give Lewis its eighth win in the past nine games.

Lewis held a 40-6 shot advantage and had 13 corner kicks to two from Truman.

The Flyers conclude the regular season Wednesday (Oct. 25) when they play at Drury. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 PM.
