Hatters Stunned Late at Northern Illinois

Northern Illinois' Logan Hatter scored the game-winning goal just over a minute into the second overtime period as Stetson suffered a heart-breaking 2-1 loss, Friday in DeKalb, Ill.
 
Stetson (1-3-0) led 1-0 after Brock Exline scored on a header from a Jared Huber free kick in the 65th minute. But the Huskies (2-2-0) tied the match after they were awarded a penalty kick opportunity in the 87th minute. Alex Welch's attempt was true, sending the contest to overtime.
 
After a scoreless first 10 minutes, Hatter found the back of the net from six yards away to send the Hatters to a crushing defeat.

"We didn't start the game well and we were lucky to go in at halftime tied," Stetson head coach Kyle Gookins said. "We did almost everything right in the second half and created enough chances to win the game. I'm proud of the way we responded at halftime. It was a harsh way to end regulation, but we will learn and prepare for the next game against a good Loyola team."

Both teams ripped nine shots, with the Hatters getting five shots on-goal. Stetson keeper Joe Melong made a pair of saves.
 
Stetson next faces Loyola Chicago, noon, Sunday.
