goal in the second half to send Gettysburg and Franklin
& Marshall into double-overtime, finishing with a score
of 1-1 in Centennial Conference (CC) men’s soccer action

put the Bullets on the board at the 10:31 mark with a sliding
kick into the top right corner of the net, off a pass from
Mike Leader (Hershey,

retaliated after Borcik’s
goal went above his hands, making eight saves against the
strong Gettysburg
attack in the first half. The Bullets fired 12 of their

that Stelz’s fingers just
tipped sending it high over the goal.

and took control of the game in the second half, outshooting
the Bullets 6-1. After seven corner kick chances and several
scoring opportunities, the Diplomats finally converted when
Boyd grabbed a Brandon Corday
pass from the right side and knocked it into the net in
the 76th minute, tying the game at 1-all.

opportunity to score with fewer than five minutes remaining

was there to make his only save of the half.

NJ/Bordentown) took his two shots on goal in the first overtime period,
but couldn’t get past Stelz,
while Borcik sent a shot high.
In
a final attempt to take the win, Ben

Wells-Bundtzen (Williamstown, MA/Mt.
Greylock).

while Stelz ended with a game-high 13 stops.
