In a last ditch effort on a corner with 20 seconds left, goalie Michael Kluver came up with the ball of the corner kick put the ball on net, which allowed senior Ricky Lopez-Espin to deflect the ball in with 16 seconds left to force overtime. Lopez now has a goal in three of his past four games.
“There’s not much to it other than desperation at that point,” Lopez said. “I didn’t even know Kluver was up … I wish he would have scored, that would have been awesome.”
This forced overtime for the second straight game for the Jays and the first nine minutes were uneventful with poor shots by both sides.
