Northfield, VT – Husson's men's soccer team pulled off an exciting ECAC Quarterfinal win against Norwich this afternoon, taking the game 4-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie in regulation.

The Cadets scored the equalizer in the 77^th minute when senior Colin Pope (Tunbridge, VT) finished off a crossing pass from junior forward Joe Young (McLean, VA) by heading the ball into the back of the net from point blank range.

Norwich continued to build momentum throughout the rest of regulation and into overtime and had a couple of golden scoring chances, but Husson goalkeeper Brian Potter (Waterville, ME) made numerous fantastic saves to keep the Eagles in the match. He finished the day with 10 saves.

In the penalty kicks, Husson converted on all four of its chances while Norwich scored on just two. Frost, Zach Emeigh (Ellsworth, ME), Stephen Berenyi (Levant, ME), and Chris DelGiudice (Oakland, ME) all converted successfully for the Eagles. Young and Mike Ravenelle (Merrimack, NH) made their shots for the Cadets.

Coach Jeff Gettler said of the game, "This was a great performance by the whole team. We had to change the lineup because a number of our players couldn't come, and we had a number of guys play major minutes out of position and really test their limits. They did a phenomenal job today, and we were money in the penalty kicks."

Norwich outshot Husson 28-16 for the game, including seven to two in the 20 minutes of overtime. The Cadets also earned 12 corner kicks to Husson's four. Potter made 10 saves for Husson and Hallstrom made two saves for Norwich.

Husson advances to the ECAC final four weekend, where it will take on No. 1-seeded Roger Williams University. Roger-Williams defeated 8^th-seeded Lesley 2-0 this afternoon and will host the Eagles in the semifinals at 12:00 PM.
