HARRISONBURG, Va. – Freshman forward Tim Estermann scored his first collegiate goal in the 109th minute to lift James Madison men's soccer to a 2-1 win over in-state rival Longwood on Wednesday night at Sentara Park.
The sequence started when freshman midfielder Fernando Casero won a tackle in the defensive third and sprung freshman midfielder Manuel Ferriol on the counter-attack. Ferriol found freshman forward Niclas Mohr on the left wing, who sent a cross into the box. Junior forward Joe Vyner got a touch in the middle of a scramble, setting up Estermann for the finish.
Estermann was crucial in setting up JMU's first goal of the night, drawing a penalty kick when he was taken down in the box after a through ball from Ferriol. Sophomore forward Aaron Ward-Baptiste stepped up to the spot in the 72nd minute and placed a finish to the goalkeeper's right, his second goal of the season.
The Lancers went down to ten men in the 93rd minute when Eoin O'Donovan was shown a red card for a reckless tackle.
The Dukes entered the halftime break trailing 1-0 after Longwood's Max Poelker scored a left-footed strike in the 42nd minute, one of only two shots on goal for the Lancers on the evening.
JMU improved to 2-9-3 on the season while Longwood fell to 5-9-1 overall.
