Clarksville, Ark.-Bryce Young scored the game-winning goal in the 94th minute to secure a 4-3 overtime win over Mary Hardin-Baylor Thursday in American Southwest Conference play.
The Eagles (10-4-3, 4-3-2 ASC) were in control of the match early scoring three goals within the first 17 minutes to overwhelm the Crusaders (10-5-1, 6-2-1 ASC). Alex Ross scored back-to-back goals, one in the 8th minute and another in the 10th minute, to establish momentum. Matt Samaniego then added a goal in the 17th minute to put Ozarks in front 3-0.

With a 3-1 lead, the Eagles gave up another goal in the 54th minute. The visitors scored again in the 78th minute to even the contest 3-3. Ozarks was unable to answer with a goal in the second half, but Young finished the match off with a timely goal in the first overtime.
