Dragons complete comeback with dramatic goal in 2 OT

Box Score

Tiffin University (4-2, 2-1 G-MAC) battled back from a two goal deficit before dramatically winning with just 7 seconds left in the second overtime as the Dragons defeated Trevecca Nazarene 3-2.

The first half was not to the Dragons' liking, as the Trojans quickly took a 2-0 lead. Goals in the 24th and 25th minute put them in charge, but the Dragons had opportunities. They outshot the Trojans 10-8 in the half but only three of those shots were on goal. 

TU narrowed the gap in the 31st minute when Abdoul Magid Sy took a centering pass from Andrew Nmah on the left side and drilled it into the right corner to make it 2-1 at the half.

TU picked up the intensity in the second half, outshooting TNU 12-6 and finally tying the game in the 73rd minute when Sy got another goal on a cross from Malik Suleman. 

TU continued to get shots as regulation ran out but could not find the game winner.

Overtime was similar, with TU holding a 6-1 shot edge in the first overtime but again chances came up just short.

As the second overtime continued, the game looked destined to end in a tie when TU made a last push. Spencer Wood crossed a shot to Ramiesh McKnight, who headed it home for the dramatic game winner.

Overall TU outshot the Trojans 30-17 while also holding a commanding 9-1 lead in corner kicks.

Cary Wilson got his first win of the season in goal, making 8 saves over 110 minutes including 5 in the first half.
