Box Score

DETROIT (11/2/2013) – A golden goal by Wright State in the first overtime doomed the University of Detroit Mercy men's soccer team Saturday on a rainy afternoon at Titan Field. The loss eliminates UDM from postseason competition after earning the #1 seed in the Horizon League Tournament just last season.
 
Detroit (3-10-4, 0-6 Horizon League) had a chance to take an early lead in the match, after the Titans had three shots in the box from a pair of corner opportunities. A scramble for about two minutes ended in a goal, but senior captain Adam Bedell was called for offside and the score was negated.
 
After the annulled Bedell goal, Wright State's (5-9-1, 3-4 Horizon League) Bryce Rockwell-Ashton was on the move near the edge line of the pitch, and sent a cross from left to center and found Derek Zuniga for the one touch goal to put the Raiders up 1-0 in the first half.
 
Coming out of the half, UDM was in control, getting chances to equalize the match and that's exactly what the Titans did. Bedell found Jason Leslie sprinting down the field, and Leslie knocked in his third goal of the season to level the match at one in the 62nd minute.
 
The Titans controlled possession for majority of the second half and it was evident as UDM outshot Wright State 10-7, before we went into the golden goal period.
 
In the extra period, UDM left Brett Elder free on back left side as he sprinted towards the corner and sent a cross to Eric Lynch, who chipped it over Nathan Steinwascher for the golden goal.
 
Officially eliminated from postseason competition, Detroit will compete in its final game of the 2013 season on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Indiana at Valparaiso.
 
Game Notes:
Nathan Steinwascher now has 94 saves on the season and can become the first Detroit keeper with 100 saves in a season since Kal Kaliszewski (113) in 1995 … Adam Bedell moved into sixth all-time with 22 career assists with the helper to Jason Leslie.
