Box Score CLEVELAND, Miss. – The Delta State University men's soccer team defeated the Bucs of Christian Brothers University in overtime fashion on Wednesday afternoon. The Statesmen won 1-0 in overtime to improve to 2-13-1 on the season and 2-10-1 in Gulf South Conference play, while Christian Brothers falls to 7-9-1 overall and 5-8-1 in conference play.

Offense on both sides of the ball struggled to execute, as neither team was able to find the back of the net through the first and second halves of regulation. The score read 0-0 at the end of regulation, forcing overtime.

Sophomore Jaxon Lambert was the hero for the Green-and-White as he scored the game-winning goal on a pass from Russell Alvarez, Jr. at the 93:36 mark, giving the Statesmen the 1-0 advantage over the Bucs and the win. This was Delta State's second win of the season. Both games were won in overtime with the first coming earlier this season when the Statesmen beat Union University 2-1 in double overtime.

Head coach Nick Glaser was thrilled for his squad. "I really want to give all the credit to my players. We are banged up with injuries. It's been a tough season, but they don't quit. I am proud of them for that. It was a great win tonight."
