NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 23, 2005 --.Junior Kurt Morsink's (San Jose, Costa Rica/IMG) overtime goal gave James Madison a 2-1 upset of nationally-ranked Old Dominion in Colonial Athletic Association men's soccer Sunday afternoon.
Morsink got past the ODU line of defense and placed a shot past senior goalkeeper John Connelly from 15 yards out. The deciding goal came 5:39 into sudden-death overtime.
The Monarchs entered the game riding a nine-game (8-0-1) unbeaten streak as well as a 32-match home regular-season unbeaten streak. ODU last lost a home regular-season game on Sept. 15, 2002, to Coastal Carolina.
