How It Happened
Jake Kline with just under five minutes remaining in the second OT to give Lebanon Valley the 1-0 victory over Widener on Saturday afternoon in MAC Commonwealth men's soccer action. The Dutchmen improved to 9-2-0, 2-1-0 MACC, while the Pride fell to 2-8-1, 0-2-0 MACC.

In the 106th minute, after a Widener turnover, John McHale ran down the left side of the field and shook a defender and was able to kick the ball into the middle of the box where Kline was waiting. Kline controlled the ball and rifled a ball off his left foot past the Pride's Dave Sousa for the thrilling 2OT winner. A frenzy then ensued, as Kline's teammates mobbed him, as well as LVC alumni on Homecoming Saturday.
