Cabrilo's Overtime Score Sinks The Vikings

Cleveland, Ohio / Krenzler Field-Sophomore Miro Cabrilo (Hamilton, Ontario / Glendale Secondary) scored six minutes into overtime to lift the Robert Morris University men's soccer team to a 2-1 win at Cleveland State Sunday afternoon. The win moves the Colonials to 3-2-1 while the Vikings slip to 2-4.

Knotted up at one goal apiece after 90 minutes, Robert Morris launched the decisive counter-attack in the 96th minute. Senior Shane Beharry (Scarborough, Ontario / York University) initiated a two-on-one breakaway chance for sophomores Cabrilo and Prince Samuels (Saint Catherine, Jamaica / Kingston College) with a through ball down the right side. With the defender taking away the passing chance to Samuels, Cabrilo instead opted to shoot from the right side of the box. His strike was true and the Colonials walked off with a 2-1 victory.

The Vikings struck first in the 18th minute as Admir Suljevic scored his third goal of the season on a penalty kick. It was the third penalty kick goal given up this year by the Colonials. They have allowed just five live-play goals in six games.

RMU tied the game just two minutes after the mid-game break on a Jamaican connection. Samuels scored his second marker of the season on a cross from freshman Carl Reid (Kingston, Jamaica / Jamaican National U17).

Junior goalkeeper Toba Bolaji (Vaughan, Ontario / Maple) finished the game with 10 saves, allowing only the penalty kick goal. Brad Stuver had one save for Cleveland State.

The Colonials return to North Athletic Complex this Thursday, Sept. 22, when cross-town rival Duquesne visits for a 4:00 p.m. kick-off.
