Kingsmen Defeated in Overtime, 2-1
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Competing against the elements and an undefeated Gustavus Adolphus squad in a neutral site soccer match, Cal Lutheran ended its stay in Santa Cruz on an unfortunate note after suffering a 2-1 overtime defeat Sunday afternoon.

The score remained 1-0 until the 67th minute when junior midfielder Danny Kuntz found the back of the net and earned his first career goal as a Kingsmen, ultimately forcing both teams to compete in the first overtime game of their respective seasons.
Unfortunately for CLU, Gustavus Adolphus ended the match midway through the first overtime period, netting the golden goal in the 96th minute of play.
