Timmy Mulgrew scored two and a half minutes into the second overtime period on Saturday afternoon to give George Mason a 2-1 victory over the American University men's soccer team in the D.C. College Cup title game.

"I'm happy with this team, I think this could be a very good team and we lost to a very good George Mason team today," said Head Coach Todd West. "I'm a little upset we couldn't finish the job but the way we played and the way we competed gives us a chance to be successful this year."

American (2-2-0) found the back of the net 17 minutes into the game. Colin Seigfreid crossed it in as Cristobal Soto added the finish with a header into the top right corner for the 1-0 lead. The Patriots were able to respond in the 24th minute, with Julio Arjona slipping it past Billy Knutsen on a free kick just outside the penalty box.

The two teams played evenly in the second half, with George Mason (3-0-0) outshooting the Eagles by a 7-4 margin. But American's defense was able to come up with stops to keep the game tied at one and send it to overtime.

The Patriots led the attack in the first overtime period, tallying four shots. After a scoreless period, George Mason came out of the break on the offensive with Mulgrew finding the back of the net for the game-winning goal.

George Mason outshot the Eagles 18-9 in the game. Knutsen recorded four saves for American.

Following the game, Chris Kuramoto, Seigfreid and Soto were named to the All-Tournament Team.

The Eagles return to Reeves Field next weekend to host a pair of games. American first faces St. Francis (N.Y.) on Friday, September 7 at 5 p.m. before taking on Saint Peter's on Sunday, September 9 at 3 p.m.
