SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Simen Hestnes provided a golden goal in the 97th minute as Xavier men's soccer rallied for a critical road win on Saturday, beating Seton Hall 2-1 at Owen T. Carroll Field.
The Musketeers trailed 1-0 with just over seven minutes to play before a handball was called on Seton Hall in the box, setting up a penalty kick conversion by Samson Sergi in the 83rd minute. XU had several excruciatingly close looks in the minutes leading up to the equalizer, but finally broke through to force overtime.
Just over six minutes into the overtime period, Jacob Goodall chipped a high, diagonal pass to Simen Hestnes who finished a header to clinch the win.
