Athens, W.Va. -- Men’s Soccer needed overtime to snatch a 2-1 win against Concord on Sunday afternoon.

The second half was scoreless forcing the game to go into overtime. Bobcat’s sealed the win 8 minutes into the first period of overtime through Alex Zidani strike.

Wesleyan were dominant recording 22 shots to the Mountain Lions 6, with Jordan Halpern totaling the game high of 7 shots with 3 on target. The Bobcat’s also outscored the Mountain Lions 9-2 on corner kicks.

Goalkeeper Derek Ayers was only called into action once, after replacing Luka Pauk in net at the beginning of the second half.  The Bobcat’s forced 7 saves from Concords goalkeeper Mitchell Thompson.

The Bobcat’s are now 2-1-1 for the season and travel to Slippery Rock Tuesday September 17 for a 1:30pm kick-off.
