Villanova goalkeeper Will Steiner stopped three penalty kicks to lead the Wildcats to a 3-1 shootout win over DePaul after a scoreless draw at Higgins Soccer Complex on Sunday afternoon.
Villanova dug itself a hole in the shootout with misses on their first two attempts, but Steiner, who didn’t have to make a save on the day until the second overtime, stood tall allowing only one of four attempts by him.
Philadelphia Union Academy grads Zach Zandi and Shane Bradley both converted for the Wildcats after misses by Sean Teixeira and Andreas Bartosinski and Lucas Hodges converted the decisive penalty that set of a celebration in front of a capacity crowd.
