OLIVET, Michigan—Wittenberg men's soccer got back in the win column on Sunday evening, as the Tigers needed an overtime to drop the Comets of Olivet College. The first 90 minutes were not enough for the Tigers and Comets, as an overtime period needed to be played as the two teams were deadlocked at 0-0 after regulation. In the 98th minute, Wittenberg found the back of the net as a shot off the foot of Andrew Yokum scorched the back of the Comets net. Setting Yokum up for the shot was Jake Rubin, who earned an assist on the play.
GAME NOTES
- Jack Snider and Tom Roseberry pitched a shutout for the visiting Tigers, as Roseberry earned the win in the match, with both goalies combing for six saves on the night.
- Patrick Szymczak was a force for the Tigers in Michigan, as the Tigers starter produced five shots in the victory.
- As a team the Tigers were able to produce 20 shots in the two-hour non-conference affair.
