Decker's Golden Goal Gives Marymount Double-OT Win Over Hood Men

FREDERICK, Md.--Senior forward Paul Decker scored the golden goal in the 103rd minute for the Marymount University Saints (5-3-1, 1-0 CAC) to clinch a 1-0 double overtime win over the Hood College men's soccer team (1-7, 0-2 CAC) Saturday afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field.

The Saints held a commanding edge in shot differential, booting 25 attempts to Hood's five. But it wasn't until the second overtime period that the visitors found the back of the net. Decker netted an unassisted score 2:36 into the second OT to give Marymount its first Capital Athletic Conference win of the fall.

The Blazers' lone shot on goal came off the foot of senior Quinn Miller in the ninth minute of the first half, but his attempt was turned away by William Brahmstedt.

Senior Shawn Fernholz came up with six saves, including a pair in the first extra session.

"That was the best match we have played as a team all year," said sophomore defender/midfielder Doug Raftery. "The team is really motivated for Tuesday."

Hood steps out of conference play Tuesday to travel to Waynesburg University for a 7 p.m. match.
