MSOC | Gaels Open Season With Win over Pacific in Double Overtime

MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary's took the pitch for the first time in 451 days on Wednesday and got their 2021 spring season off to a good start by picking up a non-conference win over Pacific (0-2-0) in double overtime.

The only score of the game came in the second overtime session on a penalty kick by Sebastian Schacht. Freshman Andrew Rotter dribbled into the box and was dragged down by a Pacific defender to earn the kick. The junior Schacht then fired a perfect strike to the far left side, opposite of the leaping Tigers' goalkeeper, to seal the win for SMC.
