Sixth Straight Win a Thriller For Men's Soccer

Fuchs' Late Heroics Send Game to OT

The Webster University men's soccer team cut it as close as possible in regulation, then added its sixth straight win in double-overtime, 3-2, over Spalding University on October 21 in Louisville, KY.

Junior Eric Fuchs (Vianney HS, STL), normally counted on for his defensive prowess, scored the game-tying goal at the 89 minute and 30 second mark of regulation time, off a pass from senior Kyle Lewman (Belleville East HS, IL).

Kyle Gamache (SR, Webster Groves HS, STL) stepped up and buried a game-winning PK four minutes into the second overtime period after Dominic DeVasto (SO, Vianney HS, STL) was pulled down in the box,   

Fuchs had earlier assisted on a goal by Kyle Leifield (JR, Marquette HS, STL) to tie the game, 1-1, at 35:00 in the first half.  Spalding broke the tie at the 85:00 mark before Fuchs sent the game into OT. 

The win keeps Webster in first place in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference at 5-0.  The Gorloks hosts second-place Greenville College (IL) on October 24 at the Soccer Park.
