The Belmont Abbey men's soccer team gave up a breakaway in goal in the 108th minute as the Queens Royals earned a 2-1 double overtime win this afternoon at Alumni Field. The win improves Queens to 4-8 overall and 3-6 in Conference Carolinas while The loss drops the Crusaders to 5-8-1 overall and 3-5 in Conference Carolinas.

The first half was scoreless and very physical, as five yellow cards were issued in the first 45 minutes.

Belmont Abbey nearly drew first blood, as Conor Wells headed home a goal off of a cross from Timmi Borges Da Sliva, but it was negated due to offsides.

Queens got on the board first in the 80th minute as Felipe Netto finished unassisted for Queens in the 67th minute giving them a 1-0 edge. His goal came after his first shot was knocked away by Abbey goalkeeper Sergio Ramirez, but the carom came right back to Netto, who one-timed the finish.

12 minutes later the score was evened thanks to a Queens own goal. Abbey defender Tom Wigley deposited a long throw in from the left sideline, which landed onto the head of a Queens defender just to the left of the goal. He headed backwards in an attempt to clear, but his effort sailed backwards and into the right corner of the net for the score.

Neither team scored again until the 108th minute when Netto ran down a long pass from the Queens box, dribbled from midfield unmolested until he beat two Crusader defenders in front of the box and lashed a shot past Ramirez for the winner.
