Men's soccer takes overtime win at Skidmore

Box Score Saratoga Springs, N.Y.-- SUNY Oneonta freshman Dylan Williams (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury) scored a minute into the first overtime for a 1-0 non-league men's soccer win over Skidmore College, Wednesday at Wachenheim Field.

Both teams are 8-4-1.

Dan Scott (Hyde Park/FD Roosevelt) started the winning play with a 30-yard pass from his own defensive end that found a charging Colin Volpe (Commack/St. Anthony's) on the right side. Volpe played a cross in the box to Williams who tallied his third of the season at 91:01.  All of Williams' goals this season have been game-winners.

The game started slowly with neither team mounting a serious challenge in the first half.

Oneonta carried the play for a majority of the second half.  The Red Dragons had a decent opportunity in the 64th minute when Mitchell Cain (Marcy/Whitesboro) fired a shot from just inside the box that forced Thoroughbred goalie Eli Kisselbach to use a quick kick save to prevent the goal. 

Skidmore's first opportunity in the second half came on restart from along the end line in the 71st minute that just missed wide. The Thoroughbreds had a chance late in regulation when Joe Phalen's hard shot was knocked down by Oneonta keeper Colin Balkwell. 

Oneonta had a 19-6 shot advantage, however only six were on goal. The Red Dragons also had six corners to Skidmore's zero.

Kisselbach finished with five saves for the Thoroughbreds.  Daniel DeBottis (Cicero/C-NS) had stopped both shots he faced in the first half, while Balkwell had one save in the second half.

Oneonta will face New Paltz this Saturday on the road.  Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00pm.
