Westminster Men’s Soccer Wins In Double Overtime

Fulton, Mo. – The Westminster men’s soccer team grabs an exciting 1-0 double overtime win over Millikin University Saturday evening. The win moves the Blue Jays to 2-3 on the season.

The Westminster Blue Jays and the Millikin Big Blue stayed scoreless throughout the regulation 90 minutes, despite a penalty kick by the Blue Jays and six shots on goal each.

The Big Blue took two shots in the first overtime, but were unable to find the goal.

Ten minutes were put on the clock for the second overtime, and the two teams were ready to battle it out until the end.
