A goal with just 31 seconds remaining in double-overtime pushed Cleary to a 2-1 victory over Lourdes on Saturday evening at Wildcat Stadium.
 
"I thought we played as a team tonight and played well for the most part," head coach Barry Spitzer said after the match.  "Unfortunately, we just didn't win the match."
 
Logan Bush intercepted a pass at the top of the box and slotted the ball to Noah Schneider inside the six for the match-winning goal as the Cougars overcame a late 1-0 deficit to earn the victory.  Cleary had nine shot attempts in the two extra sessions, most from distance that missed the mark before the match-winner.
 
The two sides played a scoreless opening 45 minutes before the Gray Wolves struck first.  Judah Goodridge (Brooklyn, N.Y./Dutchtown H.S.) sent a long ball through the Cougar defense which Adilson Darosa (Pawtucket, R.I./Shea H.S.) collected at the top of the box before beating netminder Marc Hodges for his first goal of the year. 
 
Cleary (3-1) tied the match with 9:23 remaining in regulation as Schneider sent a feed into the box where Daniel Hector Lora sent a blast into the back of the net.  The match would then remain even the rest of the way until the final seconds of the second overtime.
 
Cleary finished the match with a 26-9 shot advantage, but held just a slim 5-4 edge in shots on frame.  Hodges made three saves in goal for the Cougars while Jose Cedillo (Monterrey, Mexico/Norcross H.S.) made three stops for the Gray Wolves.  Cleary also had an 8-2 edge in corner opportunities.
 
The match saw a total of 31 fouls and nine yellow cards handed out, including six to Cleary.
 
Lourdes (0-1-1) will take to the road for the first time this season on Thursday afternoon as the Gray Wolves travel to Wyoming, Mich. to battle Grace Bible.  Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. at Velting Field.
