QUINCY, Ill.- It took almost an extra two minutes, but the #8 UIndy Men's Soccer team earned its 11th-straight victory in a 3-2 overtime win over Drury in the semifinals of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament Friday afternoon at Quincy's Legends Stadium.
With the victory, the second-seeded Greyhounds advance to their second GLVC final in program history. UIndy played in the league final in 2010, but fell to eventual NCAA Division II National Champion Northern Kentucky.
The Greyhounds (15-2-2) got on the scoresheet first in the 23rd minute, with
Brett Greubel scoring at close-range in the center of the box on a cross from
Ngwese Ebangwese, good for his third goal of the year.
Daniel Wellmann pushed the UIndy lead to 2-0 in the 31st minute, converting on his second penalty kick of the season after a Drury (13-7-0) foul on
Reid Strain in the box. The PK was good for the defender's fifth score of the season.
The teams went into the half with the Greyhounds holding a 2-0 lead. After the intermission, the Panthers scored in the 73rd and 85th minutes to force the extra time with the match knotted 2-2.
It took just 1:53 for UIndy to seal the victory, with Strain notching his fifth goal of the year. Strain beat the keeper after taking a cross into the box from the near side off the foot of Ebangwese.
The Greyhounds advance to Sunday's GLVC Championship to face the winner of tonight's second semifinal between host and top-seeded Quincy and four-seed Rockhurst. The GLVC Championship Tournament final will be played Sunday afternoon at 3:30 EST at Quincy's Legends Stadium.
