Hamilton, N.Y. - Colgate University midfielder Michael Henes scored the game-winning goal in overtime to lead the Red Raider men's soccer team to a 3-2 win over Syracuse University Wednesday night at Van Doren Field.

With a penchant for overtime games, Colgate (6-9-1) played in its third consecutive overtime game and won its second straight.

Henes' goal, coming in the eleventh minute of the extra session, came on a pass from Conor Harrison who dribbled up the left side of the field. Harrison crossed it to Henes, who then dribbled right and blasted a shot from 35 yards out. The Red Raiders remain unbeaten against Syracuse (8-6-2) in their last four meetings, and Colgate has earned three successive wins against its local rival.

Dominated by aggressive play, the teams ended regulation knotted at 2-2 tie as the two teams mirrored the others' moves. Forward Brendan Skonieczki gave Colgate the early 1-0 lead as he lifted Matt Renner's pass over Orangemen keeper Kevin Bacher. Within a minute and 14 seconds, Syracuse answered when Kirk Johnson scored on an open goal. Johnson's goal came when Colgate goalie Jon Brunell was forced out of the net after he saved two big shots on a Ryan Hall breakaway.

Brunell made some strong saves in the first half recording nine including three shots from close range. Brunell's highlights included a diving save on a shot from inside the goalie box, a deflection over the net and a save on a straight blast from five feet away. He was forced to sit out the second half with a sore ankle, and was replaced by fellow freshman keeper, Will Martin.

Martin seemed equally impressive earning his first collegiate win, while registering four saves. He preserved the tie when smothering Syracuse midfielder John Andrade's point-blank shot.

The Red Raiders scored their second goal when Tim Gerges blasted a shot from outside the penalty box off a feed from Skonieczki. Freshman Brian McDermott dribbled down the right sideline crossed to Skonieczki, who then touched it to Gerges for the goal.

Once again Syracuse followed with the equalizer, this time just 19 seconds later, when Johnson notched his second of the game on a header over the outstretched arms of Martin.

Both Brunell and defender Josh Viel, who sat out the last five minutes of regulation and overtime with a sore knee, are expected to return to the lineup against Lafayette this weekend.
