STATS OF THE GAME:

• In the first half, a physical game was played by both teams, but it was ultimately the Fighting Knights capitalizing on their opportunities.
• In the 24th minute, the Fighting Knights took the lead off of a beautiful goal from Rodrigo Fernandez. David Bauer had the assist on the goal with a perfect cross from the right side to the middle of the field, and Fernandez took the feed off his chest before recovering to spin around and rip a shot into the net.
• Fernandez's goal was the only one of the first half and the only shot on goal for Lynn out of their five shots.
• Patrick Nettekoven added two saves on the Bucs' two shots.
• In the second half, the physical gameplay continued for both. In the 72nd minute, the Bucs' took a corner kick, and after the ball bounced around, it found its way onto the foot of Jordi Ramon who put it past Nettekoven to tie the game at one.
• Neither team was able to score again, and the game went into overtime.
• The first ten-minute overtime featured more physical play and yellow cards, but no scoring for either team.
• In the second overtime, the Bucs' again found the back of the net off a corner kick that found its way to Ramon's head and past a diving Nettekoven.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE:

• Though he recorded zeros in the box score, Michael Knoetzinger had numerous big plays in the midfield, taking the ball away from Barry's offensive players seemingly at will.
• Kyle Patton had a couple of chances in the first half, but was unable to finish. One was a header that barely missed over the net, and the other was a sliding shot that he pushed just wide of the net.
• In the 75th minute, Javier Ibanez had a chance at scoring off a feed to the middle of the field, but his shot went just high over the net.
• Lukas Hombach added an opportunity after a cross from Lukas Ostermann, but his kick went just over the net in the 81st minute.
• With seven seconds remaining, Fernandez almost pulled out the win in regulation for the Fighting Knights. After a throw-in, Ostermann crossed a beautiful ball to the captain, and though he had a good look, he hit the ball just over the net. 
• Lynn led in shots 10 to six, but Barry led in shots on goal with five to three.

UP NEXT:

Barry will travel to Tampa, and the Fighting Knights will hope to hear their names called by the NCAA selection committee. In the latest South Region ranking, the Fighting Knights were ranked seventh. The top 10 teams in each region advance to the postseason tournament, so whether Lynn will be playing or not will come down to how far, if at all, this loss drops them in the ranking.
