Omari Cotterell scored in the 97th minute to give La Salle (5-4, 1-1) a 2-1 overtime win over Duquesne (6-2-1, 1-1) on McCarthy Field in Philadelphia Saturday night. The Explorers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third minute, before Zach Hall tied on a header off a corner in the 19th minute. The game remained deadlocked until Cotterell's deciding goal. It was the second goal in as many games for Hall, who moved into a tie with Manel Busquets for the team lead in goals with four. Duquesne heads to Lynchburg, Va. for a non-conference match at Liberty on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. The trip south is the last of five consecutive road matches for the Dukes. It will also be DU's first game outside of the state of Pennsylvania this season.

DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS
     "If you want to win soccer games, all the details matter. You've got to do all of the little things right all the time - there are no exceptions. Tonight we didn't do those things and the opposing team did. We have to learn from this and move forward."
