Tried and Tested, Toros Prevail in Overtime 3-2 Versus Grand Canyon
September 24, 2001

PHOENIX, Az.--Senior midfielder Sean Lockhart (Palm Springs HS) scored the game-winning goal as Cal State Dominguez Hills kept their winning streak alive tonight in the Valley of the Sun with a 3-2 come-from-behind overtime win over Grand Canyon University in CCAA action at The Meadow.

It wasn't easy though. At times, it even seemed bleak. However, the Toros might as well start calling themselves the "cardiac kids" as they saved their best for the second half and the first extra period to continue their winning streak now at 22 games in a row.

Down 2-0, the Toros cut the lead in half when Chris Wimmer (Fountain Valley HS) headed in a cross from Lockhart at the 52:06-minute mark.

Rick Cobb (Warren HS) tied the game with less than a minute remaining in regulation to send the contest into overtime. At 89:21, Cobb won a scramble in front of the mouth of the goal off a Grand Canyon clearing attempt making it 2-2 and giving CSUDH new life.

Then with just seconds left in the first overtime period, junior forward Scott White (Sonora HS) played a ball over the top of the Antelope defense from the left side. Lockhart ran onto it inside the box and one-timed his shot to the far post at 104:45 for the dramatic sudden-victory. The goal was Lockhart's team-best 7th of the year.

Senior Toros goalkeeper Luis Morales (Banning HS) gains the win with nine saves. He remains perfect in a Toros uniform with a 21-0-0 career record.

CSUDH, the defending NCAA II National Champions and ranked No. 1 in the latest NSCAA polls, improve their record to 10-0 and 7-0 in conference play.

The team returns to action on Friday on the road against Alliant International University (formerly U.S. International University). Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. The game is the third of a season-high 5-game roadtrip.
