WILMINGTON, OHIO – Sophomore Seth Holland scored his first career goal, and gave Otterbein a 1-0 double overtime victory over Wilmington Saturday evening in the OAC opener for both squads.
The Quakers out-shot Otterbein 11-7 in the opening half, but senior goalkeeper Dave Dziedzicki recorded seven saves and helped the Cardinals head to halftime locked in a scoreless tie.
Wilmington goalie Marty Ellis stopped four Cardinal shots in the first frame.
The host Quakers held an 11-5 shot advantage in the next 45 minutes, but OC sophomore keeper Alex Kamphaus did not allow a shot to find its way to the back of the net.
Unfortunately, the Cards were also unable to capitalize on any opportunities, as the game headed to overtime after a physical second half, which featured 14 total fouls.
In the extra session, Holland took a corner kick from Kiaski and put it upper 90 for the victory and his first career goal.
The Quakers held a 24-14 edge in shots, and also took nine corner kicks compared to just four for the Cardinals.
Ellis tallied four saves in goal for Wilmington while Dziedzicki and Kamphaus combined for nine.
The team next returns home to host Marietta on Tuesday. First-kick from Clements Field is scheduled for 4 p.m.
