Penalty kick in overtime leads to Pirate loss

Penalty kick in overtime leads to Pirate loss

GEORGETOWN, Texas – Defense dominated most of the game until the final two minutes of regulation. The University of Dallas stole the win with a penalty kick in overtime to defeat Southwestern 2-1 in SCAC action. 

Both goalkeepers made outstanding saves throughout the match to keep the game scoreless. UD broke the seal in the 88th minute and seemed to have the game-winner until Southwestern capitalized off a corner kick as Wil Mekelburg sent home his own rebound to score the equalizer with under one minute remaining.

Dallas seemed to have the game-winner three minutes into overtime but they were deemed offside to keep the game rolling. Just minutes later the Crusaders took the win after a strong tackle in the box on a breakaway awarded UD the penalty kick to win the game. 

Southwestern (7-7, 6-4) remains at home to face Colorado College on Sunday at noon.
