CEDARVILLE, Ohio -
Levi Haight converted a penalty kick midway through the second overtime to give the Yellow Jackets a shocking 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Tiffin in the G-MAC opener for both schools.
It was the second PK of the contest for Cedarville, 2-1, who was playing a man down after having a player sent off late in the first OT.
Cole Butaud was taken down in the box setting up Haight's winner - his sixth career goal and his first from the spot.
The Dragons had taken a 2-1 lead in the 84th minute on a fluky shot that deflected off a CU defender.
Derek Braak equalized just 37 seconds later with Butaud assisting.
Tiffin, 2-1, opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Nick Marculo knotted the score with only 19 seconds left in the half on a penalty kick.
Stinger Notes:
- Carter Selvius was credited with six saves in goal.
- The visitors outshot the Jackets 22-14 overall and 8-4 on goal. They hit the crossbar twice in the second half.
- Cedarville is 5-0-1 in their last six meetings against the Dragons.
- Tiffin still holds a 19-10-2 lead in the all-time series dating back to 1983.
