SPRING ARBOR, Mich. -- The Indiana Wesleyan University men’s soccer team won their third consecutive Crossroads League regular season championship on Wednesday night on a golden goal in the second overtime at Spring Arbor (Mich.).

Corey Lopez (JR/Warsaw, Ind.) scored the game-winning goal on a bicycle kick in the 105th minute to send the Wildcats into a frenetic celebration on the field. Sam Kane (SR/Jackson, Mich.) served the ball into Lopez who was in the middle of the 18-yard box. His bicycle kick went to the far post for the 2-1 victory.
