CARLISLE, Pa. – Sophomore Billy Evers netted his fourth goal of the season in the 103rd minute to propel the Swarthmore College men's soccer team to a 2-1 come-from-behind victory in double overtime over 16th-ranked Dickinson on Saturday, Oct. 25 at Miller Memorial Field. Playing shorthanded with 10 men, the Garnet rallied to pick up their third victory of the season in extra time to stay in contention for a playoff berth.
 
The game remained scoreless for the first period and into the break, with both teams trading shots and neither gaining a clear advantage. Dickinson (11-3-1, CC 6-1) was the first to score six minutes into the second half when Alfred Hylton-Dei found the back of the net on a cross shot through the box off an assist from Drew Carneal. 
 
With only ten players competing after a red card sent a Garnet defender off the field, Swarthmore (9-5-2, CC 3-4) managed to overcome adversity and scored in the 86th minute with a goal coming from freshman Tommy Sheehan. It was the first marker of his career.
 
The Garnet maintained their momentum through the first overtime and scored a little over two minutes into the second overtime when Evers found the left corner of the net to defeat the Red Devils. The goal gave Swarthmore its third victory in double overtime this season, and all of those wins have come on the road.
 
Garnet junior goalkeeper Tyler Zon kept Swarthmore's playoffs hopes alive with nine saves, while Red Devils goalkeeper Reed Milbrath also had nine saves in the losing effort.
 
Swarthmore will be on the road for the last time next week to play Washington College in Chestertown, Md. on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.
