MEADVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny men's soccer team opened the home portion of their season with a dramatic 3-2 double overtime win against Waynesburg Saturday (Sept. 4).
 
Freshman Darius Googe (East Hartford, Conn./East Hartford) scored the golden goal just 21 seconds into the second overtime after Shane Lisman (Mars, Pa./Mars) set him up for a breakaway. 

The win brings the Gators to 1-1 on the season.
 
The Gators got on the board early as Nicholas Taliani (Cheswick, Pa./Springdale) took advantage of a miscue in the Waynesburg zone less than two minutes into the game.  Allegheny increased the lead to 2-0 as Gunnar Brettell (Steubenville, Ohio/Indian Creek) found the back of the net off a corner kick by Alex Riel (Bethesda, Md./Landon) early in the second half.  Waynesburg fought back in the latter part of the second half, scoring twice to send the game into overtime.
 
Jack Barron-Sluga (Guelph, Ont./Appleby College) collected the win in net.
 
Allegheny returns to action Thursday (Sept. 9) as they travel to Baldwin Wallace.
