#MustangsWin! Lee's Golden Goal Sends Mustangs Past Royals
Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director
Bella Vista, Ark. – Ryan Lee (SO/North Little Rock, Ark.)'s golden goal 1:18 into overtime lifted Central Baptist College men's soccer past Ecclesia College tonight at the Sugar Creek Soccer Park. CBC (2-1) led 2-0 at halftime, watched Ecclesia (1-1) scored twice in the second half before Lee's goal cemented a 3-2 win.
Issac Delafuente and Dan Mondragon (FR/Warren, Ark.) also added goals for CBC while Andrew Montoya (JR/Rogers, Ark.), Kenner Maldonado (FR/Richardson, Texas), Lee and Nyasha Dube (SR/Hwange, Zimbabwe) all had assists. The Mustangs outshot the Royals 15-12 overall, but Ecclesia was able to put eight on net with CBC only mustering five, giving Andrew Montoya a season-high six saves.
Delafuente put the Mustangs ahead in the 15th minute on an assist from Dube and Maldonado to make it 1-0. Mondragon made 2-0 in the 41st minute on the Lee and Montoya assist. CBC would go into halftime leading 2-0, but the shutout would be short lived. Seven minutes into the second half, EC made it 2-1 and it stayed that way until the 84th minute when the Royals tied the game. EC had a chance to win in the 89th minute, but Montoya came up with a big save to send the game into overtime.
CBC would capitalize early in the overtime. EC picked up a quick yellow card, and then a foul set up a free kick for Lee, who put it into the back of the net to win the game. The golden goal was the second of Lee's career after he also ended last season's finale against Freed-Hardeman with a golden goal as well.
Up next for the Mustangs is their American Midwest Conference opener against Missouri Baptist on Saturday. Kickoff for the contest from the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex is at 2 p.m. and live links will be found on Facebook if you like Central Baptist College Athletics and follow @gocbcmustangs on Twitter and Instagram.
