SELINSGROVE, Pa. --- The Moravian College men's soccer team posted its third overtime win in five overtime contests this fall with sophomore midfielder Anthony Nagy netting his third extra-time game-winning goal and his sixth game-winner of the season 22 seconds into overtime as the Greyhounds defeated host Susquehanna University, 3-2, Saturday afternoon in Landmark Conference action.

The Greyhounds, now 8-2-1 overall and 2-0 in Landmark Conference play, fell behind 1-0 in the 43rd minute but just 34 seconds before halftime when freshman midfielder Ryan Cole took a pass from sophomore midfielder Safa Turkdonmez and drove into the lower right corner of the net for his first collegiate goal.

The River Hawks moved back in front in the 68th minute for a 2-1 edge. With just over eight minutes to play, Nagy converted his fifth penalty kick of the season to knot the score and force overtime.

The Greyhounds took just 22 seconds to finish off the match in the overtime when Nagy took a pass from sophomore midfielder Quinn Middleton and put it into the net for his team-leading eighth marker of the season and his sixth game-winner.

Junior goalie Michael Bone recorded three saves in the victory for the Hounds, and Bone also had a defender clear a ball off of the line for another stop during the 79th minute.

Moravian is scheduled to return to action Wednesday, October 9 when the squad welcomes rival Muhlenberg College to John Makuvek Field for a non-conference match beginning at 7:00 p.m.
