Wright strikes in OT as Tigers beat NWU

Box Score Daniel Wright struck for his second goal of the game 8:13 into overtime as Colorado College came from behind in the second half to post a 3-2 victory at Nebraska Wesleyan University on Sunday afternoon.

Wright collected a through pass from junior defender Ben Sandalow and put a low shot passed Scott Sutherland to give the Tigers their second overtime victory of the season.

Junior defender Kyle Buchwalder sent the match to extra time when he scored on a header off junior forward Matt Fechter's corner kick in the 74th minute.

The Tigers grabbed an early lead when Fechter set up Wright's first marker in the 21st minute, but the PrairieWolves squared the game on Zach Lind's goal in the 39th minute and Brad Fullerton put NWU ahead with a little less than 30 seconds remaining in the game.

Junior goalkeeper Brian Graf made a pair of saves while improving to 5-0-0. Sutherland finished with six saves for the PrairieWolves.

CC finished with a 12-5 edge in total shots and a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks.

Fechter recorded his second-multiple-assist game of the season and already has set a personal single-season high with seven.

The Tigers improved to 2-0-3 in overtime this season. The last time the CC went undefeated in overtime was 2008 when it posted a 2-0-1 record.

Colorado College begins Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference at Rhodes College and Millsaps College next Friday and Sunday, respectively.
