Men's soccer secures SAA championship for ninth time in last 10 years

Box Score

ATLANTA—Matthews Braga scored in the 17th minute, and the Oglethorpe men's soccer team won the Southern Athletic Association for the ninth time in the last 10 years with a double-overtime draw against Birmingham Southern on Sunday.

The Stormy Petrels remained the only unbeaten team in the conference and improved to 5-0-1 in league play. Their scoring margin moved to 19-2.

Braga's goal was his third of the season, all of which have come in the last four games, and gave the Petrels a 1-0 lead they would carry into the final minutes. It was not until the 87th minute that Birmingham Southern evened the game up at 1-1.

Despite the late goal, Oglethorpe dominated the match and earned an advantage of 19-10 on the shot tally. Logan Llano accounted for four of those while Ian Farquhar accounted for three. Ethan Harrison tallied six saves.

Oglethorpe had a couple of its best opportunities still to come away victorious in the overtime periods, but a pair of great saves by BSC goalkeeper Jack Hunt kept the game even. One of those came on a shot by Fernando Guevara early in the first OT.

Up next, Oglethorpe hosts Berry Saturday at 7:30 p.m. following the women's game. The SAA tournament is set to begin Saturday, Oct. 30, and continue through Friday, Nov. 5, and Sunday, Nov. 7.
