Keystone wins wild one over men's soccer, 4-3, in 2OT

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Alex Musgnug and Garrett Winchilla scored their first career goals, and Cameron Sheva also tallied for Elizabethtown Friday night, but Keystone spoiled the Blue Jays' season opener by scoring with 1:57 left in double overtime to leave the Manheim Township Athletic Complex with a 4-3 victory.

Friday's game was moved off campus and had its start delayed by more than two hours as torrential rains and flooding hampered travel around Lancaster County.

When the teams finally got going, it was an unfamiliar face breaking through for E-town (0-1).

JD Haaf's initial shot rang off the right post in the 16th minute, but Musgnug was there to settle the rebound and score his first career goal for a 1-0 lead.

Set pieces --specifically corners-- gave the Jays fits all night. Sebastian Bonilla assisted on Keystone's (1-0) first three goals, each off corner kicks.

In the 33rd minute Harrinson Cordoba got a piece of a Bonilla corner, kneeing it into the lower right corner to knot the score at one.

Just over nine minutes later, Daniel Zuniga headed in a Bonilla corner to put the Giants in front for the first time.

Though Keystone led 2-1 at the break, it didn't take long for the Blue and Gray to answer.

Winchilla came up with a loose ball and beat Giants' keeper Erick Gomez 1-on-1 for his first career goal in the 48th minute.

Elizabethtown went back in front, 3-2, in the 55th minute when Sheva blasted a shot from the middle of the box off Gilbert Waso's cross from the right wing. Haaf received his second helper of the evening with a solid through ball to Waso.

Jordan Vance's header off a Bonilla corner in the 58th minute brought the teams even for the third time.

Keystone had two chances to steal the win in the final seconds of overtime, but Elizabethtown keeper Andrew McGowan made his biggest save of the night on Zuniga with 23 seconds left and Khadim Thiam's follow up attempt hit the crossbar.

The Jays seemed to control possession the deeper the game went. They took the first three shots in double overtime and had two corner kicks, but a counterattack by Keystone proved fruitful in the 109th minute and Ibrahim Tounkara finished off a Kouassi Kouadio cross with 1:57 left to win it.

Keystone held a 21-16 edge in shots, though shots on goal were just 7-6 in favor of the Giants. Waso had a team-high four for E-town and Winchilla finished with three.

The two keepers, Gomez and McGowan, each made three saves.

Elizabethtown is back in action on Saturday against Babson.
