Macalister Enderson's first goal of the season, 15 seconds into sudden-death overtime, lifted the visiting Tommies to a 4-3 win over St. Mary's in MIAC men's soccer play Wednesday night in Winona.
The Tommies (4-0-1 overall, 1-0 MIAC) recovered from an early 2-0 deficit to tie the score with two first-half goals.
Nick Rapisarda scored his second goal of the game and fifth of the season on a header with under 5:00 left in regulation. But St. Mary's (2-3, 0-1) converted a penalty kick two minutes later to tie the score and ultimately force overtime.
Enderson scored the quick overtime goal, assisted by Alex Bernhardt.
We survived an early setback going down two goals.," said UST coach Jon Lowery. "By sticking to the plan we found a way into the game and did well to close it in overtime. A lot to take away but most importantly we showed we have the resolve to win a game in which much adversity was thrown our way."
Mark Smith scored UST's first goal.
St. Thomas plays Friday evening at Luther and returns home Monday to play UW-Superior.
