#20 Saints Outlast Red Dragons in OT, 1-0

Morgan Smith '15 scored the Saints' game-winner in OT on Saturday.
Box Score Aug. 31:  Morgan Smith, a sophomore transfer student, intercepted a pass back to the goalie and hit the ball home to give the nationally-ranked #20 St. Lawrence University Saints a 1-0 victory at Sandy MacAllaster Field in overtime.  The Saints, who improve to 1-1 on the season, outshot the Red Dragons 25-10 in the game with the golden goal coming in the 98th minute.  Meanwhile, the Cortland falls to 2-0 despite an outstanding eight-save performance from goalkeeper Tim Beauvais.

St. Lawrence controlled the majority of the possession throughout the game but couldn't push a goal across until the overtime period.  Beauvais made numerous diving saves to keep his team in the game, while St. Lawrence's Seyefe Brouk and Jeremiah Bunton each hit a crossbar in the game.   

Cortland's best chance to score came in the second half as Chris Barbosa broke through the Saints' defense for a one-on-one with St. Lawrence's goalkeeper Aaron Costello.  Costello came up big diving save to keep the score tied 0-0.  He finished with three saves for his first shutout of the season.   

With under 22:00 minutes remaining in regulation, St. Lawrence first-year Rob Brandell took a hard shot from outside the box that Beauvais tipped over the crossbar.  Then later with under 1:30 left in regulation, Brouk had another hard shot that Beauvais handled to force an overtime period.
