WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross men's soccer team fell to Lehigh, 2-1, in overtime on Senior Day Saturday afternoon.

The Crusaders controlled the first half of play, putting six shots on goal to the Mountain Hawks' one, but weren't able to convert. They would take the lead in the 68^th minute when Matt McGonigle flicked one off his heel to Emmanuel Petrov inside the 18 who buried the shot in the back left corner of the net.

Lehigh would tie things up in the 82^nd minute off a Trevor Koski goal after a couple well-placed passes. The game would go into overtime knotted at one.

Recording all four shots in the overtime period, the Mountain Hawks won it on a Nick Jennings free kick from just outside the left corner of the 18.

Koolman on the game:

"I thought we had a good performance today for the majority of the game. We created a good number of chances in the first half, but in the end we ran out of gas to seal the deal. I think from a character standpoint this group has proven they can compete with the teams at the top of the Patriot League. We've got to keep our heads up and learn from today's match."
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

• The Mountain Hawks outshot the Crusaders, 15-12, and owned the advantage through the second half and overtime, 11-5.
• Bobby Hurstak made four saves in goal for Holy Cross.
