Bryce Houdeshel scored early in the second overtime to lift the Misericordia University men's soccer team to a 2-1 win at Elizabethtown, Saturday afternoon.

Josh Pfahl added a goal and Nick vonEgypt had two assists for the Cougars.

Rob Wiacek served a ball into the box and vonEgypt headed it Pfahl who out-leaped the defense to head it home at 74:18.

MU got another a solid defensive effort from Dennis Halpin and T.J. Schaefer while Nick Ferguson created several dangerous scoring opportunities.

MU had a 25-15 edge in shots and held a 12-4 advantage in corners while improving to 6-4.
