GAME SUMMARY
The Dallas Baptist Men's Soccer Team dropped a 3-2 contest in overtime against Lubbock Christian on Monday afternoon to wrap up its final match of the campaign.
 
It was another difficult setback for DBU (3-13-1, 0-7), who haven't won since tying a 1-1 affair versus No.18 Midwestern State University. The Patriots moved to 2-2-1 in extra regulation, falling in the opening moments of back-to-back contests.
 
The home squad posted a 16-10 shot edge, but six shots on goal for LCU (7-5-1, 5-2) were enough chances for the team to get on the board. The Chaps scattered a netter across all three frames of play.
 
Leading the Patriots in shot attempts was senior David Balyeat with five, and the Mesquite, Texas, native also landed two on target. His third goal of the season put the team on the board in the second half.
 
A trio of players also claimed multi-shooting results which included: juniors Brain Robertson and Alex Becerra, and sophomore Brandon O'Donovan with two each.

Both teams controlled pressure an even amount of times throughout the early going in the first frame, but LCU would draw first advantage with a shot by Lennard Hansen. His netter occurred at the 25:26 minute mark and would hold through intermission.
 
Hansen contributed his second goal of the day in the 52^nd minute, skillfully completing a goal inside the box to double the road team's edge.
 
Balyeat nipped the deficit in half on a Penalty kick at the 68:51 point.
 
Just under 10 minutes later, the Patriots knotted the contest as freshman Nathan McBride finished off his third goal of the season, and second in consecutive games. Balyeat set him up to complete his final season with nine points.
