Box Score Easton, Mass. (September 6) -- The Assumption College men's soccer team earned a 1-0 overtime win over Saint Michael's College in the inaugural Catholic Cup at Skyhawk Field on Friday afternoon.
Freshman Ethan Morrow (Huntington Beach, Calif./Hyde) put home a loose ball in the 103rd minute to give the Greyhounds the victory after a scramble following a throw in.
In a defensive struggle, the first five shots on goal during the contest came from the Greyhounds, but Assumption couldn't get the ball past the Purple Knight keeper.
2012 all-rookie goalkeeper Dana King (Windham, Maine / Windham) made two saves to pick up a shutout and his first victory of the season, including a crucial save in the 86th minute which kept the game scoreless, sending it to overtime.
Once in overtime, Morrow capitalized with his first career goal, a game-winner, to push Assumption to 1-0-0 on the season, while Saint Michael's College falls to 0-1-0. Assumption will square off against Saint Anselm College in the championship game of the Catholic Cup at 2:30 p.m.
