Sam Dwyer '10 scored an unassisted goal from 30 yards out to lift visiting Hamilton College to a 2-1 overtime victory against nationally ranked No. 21 St. Lawrence University in a Liberty League game played at Sandy MacAllaster Field on Oct. 20.
Dwyer's second goal this year came with just 14 seconds left in the first overtime period. Hamilton (6-2-3 overall, 3-2-1 league) clinched a spot in the league championships tournament for the sixth straight year. The Continentals' last win at St. Lawrence was in the 2000 NCAA championships tournament.
Dwyer was credited with an assist on Hamilton's first goal, which was scored by Max Akuamoah-Boateng '09 in the 43rd minute. After a restart, Dwyer crossed the ball in front of the goal, where there was a scramble for possession. Dan Dropkin-Frank '09 flicked the ball on to Akuamoah-Boateng for his third goal. After a scoreless second half and nearly an entire first overtime period, Dwyer's second goal this year ended the game.
Anthony Carello '09 made a season-high 10 saves, including six in the first half. The Saints (8-2-3, 4-1-1) held a 20-9 advantage in shots and took two corner kicks to the Continentals' one. St. Lawrence grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the eighth minute.
