Niemiec, kickers overcome odds to net first win

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Matt Niemiec scored twice, including the game-winner in the 108th minute, to provide the shorthanded Yellow Jackets a 2-1 victory at Westminster.

James Twinem was credited with the assist on the late goal. He hammered a 25-yard shot straight out from the goal that Niemiec deflected. The misdirection caught the Titan keeper going one way while the ball found the empty net going the other.

It was an uphill battle for Cedarville after relinquishing the first goal of the match in the 16th minute. Niemiec responded with the equalizer in the 35th minute chipping in an unassisted score.

The Jackets, 1-1 overall, absorbed another negative by playing a man down from the 60th minute on after a CU player received two yellow cards. The visitors finished with a 9-7 margin in total shots and a 4-3 edge in shots on goal.

Kevin Bender made two saves in the net. NCAA Division III Westminster falls to 1-1. [STATS]
