Soccer Wins Home Opener in Thrilling Overtime Victory

On September 13, the Archmere soccer team hosted MOT Charter in their first home game of the season, an exciting back and forth match that ended up in overtime. After an early goal from Ben Meredith '22, Archmere senior Mark Chua took a cross from Weston Gansler '23 and hit the lower 90 to the right, tying the game at 2-2. Sophomore Jason Lotkowski scored the winning goal in the 89th minute. 
"All of the opportunities in the extra session belonged to the Auks, and that finally paid off in the 89th minute. Meredith took a pass at the top of the box and tapped it left to Jason Lotkowski. The sophomore sent the ball waist-high to Nittoly’s left, and this time the keeper would not be able to make the stop."

The Auks outshot the Mustangs, 16-7, and had a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks. Archmere goalie Niko Triantafillou '22 made five saves.
