Boxscore and Stats

NAMPA, Idaho - Dixie State's Jordan Roylance headed home the game winner in the 92nd-minute to give the Red Storm a 3-2 overtime victory over Northwest Nazarene in an NCAA Division II West Region non-conference match on Saturday afternoon in Nampa.

 

The header came after a Tyler Albertsen shot found the crossbar and deflected back to Roylance just 69-seconds into the overtime period, earning Albertsen an assist on the play.

 

Dixie State's (5-6-0) Parker Kennah opened the scoring early in the contest, driving home a low 20-yard shot inside the right post in the sixth minute.  The Crusaders answered just six minutes later when John DiLulo offered a hard cross from the left side that resulted in an 'own goal' by the Red Storm as the DSC defender's attempt to clear found the net.

 

NNU (6-5-0) took the lead in the 29th-minute when Alex Mangeac scored off a free kick from 25-yards just outside the left side of the box.  The bending shot finished inside the upper right corner for his third goal of the season.

 

Timothy Shue evened the score at 2-2 in the 58th-minute for Dixie State, finishing a forward ball from Kennah inside the right post from 35-yards out. 

 

"That was a game we had no business losing," commented NNU head coach Coe Michaelson.  "We gifted them two goals, missed numerous one-on-one opportunities, and the end result is completely unacceptable."

 

The Crusaders will return to conference play next week, hosting both Seattle Pacific and Saint Martin's.
