North Andover, Mass. - A header in the 99th minute of overtime lifted the Adelphi University men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory at Northeast-10 Conference rival Merrimack earlier this evening.

Federico De Oliveira passed in a ball during the overtime session that Caelan Hueber was able to head in for his sixth goal of the season and the game-winner for the Panthers (7-1-1/5-0-1 NE-10) this evening on the road.

The Warriors (8-2/5-1 NE-10) jumped ahead in the first half with a 1-0 lead as Connor O'Brien scored off a free kick from Mattia Lanzi during the fourth minute of action. However, the Brown and Gold were quick on the response in the 20th minute with a one-time shot. Joseph Sanchez sent in a ball off a corner kick that James Thristino touched in for his fourth goal of the year.

Merrimack ended the first half with a 9-3 advantage in shots before Adelphi cut the deficit to 15-11 before the overtime session. The Panthers also ended the regulation with a 4-3 corner kick margin.

Heading into the overtime, each team attempted a shot that included the game-winner from Hueber. Spenser Powell made four of his five saves in the first half for Adelphi while Tyler Packett made three saves in addition to a team save to prevent an Adelphi goal.

The Brown and Gold enjoy a week off before returning to Motamed Field to host Stonehill next Saturday at 6:00 pm.

Notes:
- The Panthers program record shutout streak came to an end at seven games tonight.
