Box Score

The St. John Fisher College men's soccer team had its third overtime game of the season, coming out victorious over the host Utica Pioneers on Saturday.  The Cardinals defeated Utica 2-1, with a goal by Jake Quattrini just 25 seconds into the extra period.

With the win, Fisher improves to 5-2-1 on the year and 1-0-1 in the Empire 8.  Utica falls to 4-4 overall and 0-2 in the conference.

Off an assist from Garhett Varin, Quattrini fired a shot low and to the right side, beating Pioneer goalkeeper Anthony Caruso.  Varin has now assisted on both of the Cardinals' overtime game-winners this year.

After a scoreless first half, Varin scored the first goal of the game when he chipped the ball over Caruso from about 10 yards out.  Austin Buckley sent a long ball to Varin and was credited with the assist on the 52nd minute goal.

Utica answered six minutes later when Greg Silvestro powered a header into the Fisher goal off a corner kick from Jeffrey Cupka. But, the two teams couldn't find the goal in the final half hour, as the game was sent into extra time tied 1-1.

Kyle Metcalfe picked up his fourth win of the year, making six saves in the effort.

The Cardinals will return to action at 7 p.m. on Tuesday when they host University of Rochester
