WOOSTER, Ohio – Avoiding its third consecutive overtime game, the No. 14-ranked Kenyon College men's soccer team scored an unreal goal to defeat The College of Wooster Fighting Scots, 2-1, Tuesday evening at Carl Dale Field. The game winner, kicked in by freshman Atli Hrafnkelsson, crossed the Wooster goal line with just four tenths of a second left on the clock.

As the game was approaching what seemed to be another overtime, the Lords were whistled for a foul just outside of their own box. The ensuing free kick from the Fighting Scots was saved by goalkeeper Ian McInturf, but the rebound came right back into the center of the box. Wooster, however, failed to track down the loose ball and Kenyon cleared it.

About 30 seconds later, Wooster was called for a foul in Kenyon territory with just 12 seconds left on the clock. The Lords scrambled to get the free kick set up. When they did, freshman Isaac Johnson booted a ball downfield, where Hrafnkelsson met it with less than a second left and fired it into the Fighting Scots' net. It was Hrafnkelsson's team leading seventh goal of the season and Johnson's first collegiate assist.

Back in the first half, after a slow start to the game, the Lords made some substitutions that ended up resulting in their first goal. One of those substitutions, senior forward Philippe Stengel, tallied the goal in the game's 29th minute, about five minutes after leaving the bench. Classmate Gunner Found, who saw Stengel unmarked on the back post, set him up. Found lofted a long pass to him and Stengel headed it home for his second goal of the season. The assist was Found's fifth of the season.

About one minute after that goal, Stengel and Lords had another golden opportunity, as freshman Trevor Gleason set up Stengel with a left-to-right pass in the Wooster box. Stengel unleashed a solid shot, but Wooster goalkeeper Will Collis was in position to make the key save.

Kenyon (12-1-2, 4-0-2 NCAC) ended up with eight shots in the first half, four of them on goal. At the other end of the field, the Lords' defense yielded just two scoring chances to the Fighting Scots. The first was a shot in the box from Bennett Anderson, but it veered off target to the right. The second was a harmless, long-range look from Manny Burton. McInturf handled it was ease for one of his six saves on the day.

In the second half, chances were equally difficult to come by. Wooster, however, managed to net the equalizer just 6:49 into the period. With a straight-on shot from just outside the box, Max Hill scored for the Fighting Scots and knotted the game at 1-1.

Wooster (7-8-0, 3-3-0 NCAC) followed up with three more shots over the next 12 minutes, but one sailed wide and McInturf stopped the others.

In the final 10 minutes of regulation, before scoring the game winner, Kenyon turned up the pressure with three shots of its own, including headers from Sam Hosmer-Quint and Scott Upton that just couldn't find their way to the net.

Overall, Kenyon held a 16-9 advantage in shots, but Wooster edged the Lords in shots on goal, 7-6.
