Nyack, NY   Dominican College defeated Nyack College this afternoon 4-3 in double overtime in CACC men's soccer action.  With the win Dominican remains undefeated in conference play at 7-0 and 9-3-2 overall.  Nyack falls to 4-11 overall and 1-6 in the CACC with their 6th one goal loss on the season.  

Nyack got on the board first in the 18th minute on a goal from Sammy Oduro (Toronto, Canada).  He headed the ball in off of a corner kick from Stephen Terpstra (Pompton Plains, NJ).  Just over a minute later Joseph Ruesgen (Campbeltown, Scotland) scored on a header from a Ryan Clancy (Pine Bush, NY) corner kick.  Clancy would score on an assist from Ruesgen before the half to bring the score to 2-1 in Dominican's favor.  

Dominican started off the scoring in the second half right away as James Hamilton (Renfrewshire, Scotland) scored off of a rebound from Clancy to put the Chargers up 3-1.  Nyack would answer quickly with a goal of their own just 2 minutes later.  Greg Allen (Mayfield, NY) headed the ball in for the Warriors off of another corner kick by Terpstra to bring the score to 3-2.  In the 62nd minute Ryan Gomas (Falcon, CO) kicked the ball in from outside the 18 yard line when the Dominican keeper was caught out too far to break up a play. Gomas's goal tied the game at 3.  

The game went into overtime and Nyack saw themselves at a disadvantage right away as Oduro picked up his second yellow card on the day on a questionable call.  Nevertheless Nyack had to play a man down during the overtime period.  The first overtime ended with the score still knotted at 3.  

 In the 104th minute Clancy broke through the defense on a long ball from Ruesgen.  Clancy got by Nyack keeper Jack Carillo (Cornwall, NY) and scored on an empty net for the game winner.
