From NYU Athletics
The New York Univeristy men's soccer team defeated the United
States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in a 2-1 overtime contest at
Gaelic Park in Riverdale, NY, on Tuesday night, September 23.
Petter Aasa scored the game-winning goal, his first
of the season, in the 100th minute on a penalty kick, with a shot
to the left post. Nicolas Notaro was fouled in
the box by a Mariner to force the free kick.
NYU (7-1-0) opened the scoring in the first half
when Tommy Walters netted his first-career
goal in the 41st minute. Walters received a crossing pass from Aasa
to beat the USMMA (5-3-1) backline for the 1-0 lead. The Mariners
tied up the contest in the 80th minute on Gavin Yingling's goal
from a crossing pass in front.
