LOUDONVILLE, NY – Tyler Mitchiner scored the golden goal in the 103^rd minute of double overtime to lift Army West Point over Siena Soccer 1-0 at Siena Turf Field. Senior goalkeeper Aleksa Radosavljevic made six saves for the Saints which extended a program record with their seventh consecutive overtime match.

 

Army West Point (4-2) held decisive advantages in both shots (24-2) and corners (11-5) to remain unbeaten in seven all-time matches (6-0-1) against the Saints (0-2-3). But Radosavljevic gave Siena a fighting chance with another strong effort in net

 

However, the Black Knights finally broke through with 6:38 remaining in the contest. Keenan O’Shea played a ball to Mitchener who dribbled in from the top right and fired the decisive shot from 20 yards out which tucked inside the near right post for the game-winner.

 

Senior captain Tommaso Centemero and freshman midfielder Alejandro Riquelme accounted for the Saints’ only two shots, with Riquelme attempting Siena’s lone shot on goal in the 64^th minute. Army West Point’s Justin Stoll stopped the attempt for his only save en route to recording the clean sheet.

 

Following the completion of the first of two season long three-match homestands, the Saints will now embark upon a season long four-match road trip to bridge the conclusion of non-conference action and open MAAC play. Siena returns to action Saturday for a 3 p.m. kickoff at Sacred Heart.
