The Misericordia University Rocket League team upset top-seeded Lander University, 3-2 in overtime, in the first round of the NECC East Regional Championships, Sunday.

The fourth-seeded Cougars dropped the opener, 4-0, but rallied to win game two, 2-1, thanks to a pair of unassisted goals from Chris Dindino.

Lander took game three, 3-2, in overtime and the Cougars responded with a 1-0 win in game four.  Dindino scored the game-winner with zero boost by cutting across all three defenders to force a fifth game. Kareem Jefferson made a critical save to preserve the shutout.

In the finale, Dindino scored two late goals to force OT and Brady Carmody scored the game-winner to hand Lander their first loss of the season.

The Cougars will play Pace University in the next round.

Dindino finished with five goals and 21 saves while Carmody had three goals and five saves.  Jefferson added six save.
