Mustangs defeat Big Green in overtime

The SMU men’s soccer team defeated Dartmouth 2-1 in overtime during the second game of the SMU Classic presented by Jason’s Deli Friday night at Westcott Field.

SMU opened up the score early in the game, just three minutes into the start of the first half. Sophomore midfielder RobbieDerschang had his only shot of the game find the back of the net, making it his first goal of the season. Senior mid-fielder Arthur Ivo crossed the ball into the top left corner of the box, and Derschang was responsible for putting it in the net next to the far right post.

Dartmouth’s senior mid-fielder Aaron Gaide equalized the game in the 23rd minute with his only shot of the game. Dartmouth’s junior midfielder Kevin Dzierzawski started the play when he took one of his two shots of the game. SMU’s sophomore goalkeeper Jaime Ibarra had his hands on Dzierzawski’s shot, but was unable to block Gaide’s rebound shot from 16-yards out of the goal.

Coming back from a scoreless second half, sophomore forward Juan Castillo was able to get a goal in from two of his shots on target.

After a free kick by senior defender Adam Still, freshman defender Aaron Simmons passed the ball with a header off to the left side of the goal where Castillo was standing.

Castillo fired the ball eight yards from the goal in the 93rd minute during the first half overtime, making the game-winning goal.

The Mustangs finished the game with a shot advantage over the Big Green.

SMU improved their record now to 3-3 while Dartmouth is now at 1-2-2.

The SMU Classic concluded Sunday at Westcott Field when the Mustangs faced off against Washington.
