Box Score First-year midfielder Austin Michaelis scored 5:04 into the second overtime to give Trinity University a 1-0 victory over Colorado College under sweltering conditions at Paul McGinlay Field on Sunday afternoon.

With today's win, TU avenged an earlier 3-1 loss in Colorado Springs and pulled to within a point of first-place CC atop the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference standings.

Theo Hooker was outstanding in the loss, making a career-high nine saves that kept the game scoreless and gave the visiting Tigers a chance to claim a victory in extra time.

Colorado College's sophomore goalkeeper stopped back-to-back shots by Callum Squires in a span of eight seconds late in the second half that had the Trinity players shaking their heads in disbelief.

Hooker nearly prevented the game winner, but the shot that came off a deflected cross slid under his outstretched hands at the lower right corner.

At that the other end of the pitch, senior Chad Margotta made crucial saves late in the first overtime when he denied scoring opportunities by senior midfielder Max Grossenbacher and junior defender Nathan Andersen.

Trinity finished with a 19-18 edge in total shots, while CC earned a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks.

Colorado College, which was kept off the scoreboard for the first time this season, slipped to 9-2-2 overall and 7-1-1 in the SCAC.

TU improved to 11-2-0 overall and 7-2-0 in league play.

CC plays host to Southwestern University and Texas Lutheran University next Friday and Sunday, respectively, in its final home games of the regular season.
