Men's Soccer Advances To A-R-C Tournament Championship After Defeating Central 1-0 In Overtime

DECORAH, Iowa - The Luther men's soccer team knocked off Central 1-0 in overtime to advance to the American Rivers Conference Championship. Francesco Mungari scored the game winning goal in the 98th minute. 

In the final minute of overtime, the Norse set up a sequence of passes to move up the field knowing time was ticking away. Joseph Mulindwa passed it to Mungari who dribbled it all the way to the end line. In his attempt to cross the ball towards goal, it hit off a Dutch defender and bounced into the back of the net, effectively ending the game. The bench stormed the field racing towards the fans in celebration. 

The Norse out shot the Dutch 15-3 in the contest. 

Luther as the No. 1 seed will host the No. 2 seed Wartburg on Saturday, Nov. 8 for the A-R-C Tournament Championship. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m.
