Valparaiso Clips Men’s Soccer In Double Overtime, 3-2

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University men's soccer team jumped out to a 2-0 lead but could not hold off visiting Valparaiso in a 3-2 loss in double overtime Saturday evening at Cownie Soccer Stadium.

Valparaiso (3-2-1) scored twice in the first 15 minutes of the second half to force overtime. After a scoreless first overtime, the Crusaders' Jonas Engler accepted a Chris Villalobos pass 32 yards out on the far sideline and floated it into the near corner of the net for the gamewinner.

The three Valparaiso goals after intermission negated a strong offensive push to begin the match from the Bulldogs.
