Tiffin University (4-2, 2-1 G-MAC) battled back from a two goal deficit before dramatically winning with just 7 seconds left in the second overtime as the Dragons defeated Trevecca Nazarene 3-2.

TU narrowed the gap in the 31st minute when Abdoul Magid Sy took a centering pass from Andrew Nmah on the left side and drilled it into the right corner to make it 2-1 at the half.

TU picked up the intensity in the second half, outshooting TNU 12-6 and finally tying the game in the 73rd minute when Sy got another goal on a cross from Malik Suleman

TU continued to get shots as regulation ran out but could not find the game winner.

Overtime was similar, with TU holding a 6-1 shot edge in the first overtime but again chances came up just short.

As the second overtime continued, the game looked destined to end in a tie when TU made a last push. Spencer Wood crossed a shot to Ramiesh McKnight, who headed it home for the dramatic game winner.

Overall TU outshot the Trojans 30-17 while also holding a commanding 9-1 lead in corner kicks.
