Sharks Stun Notre Dame de Namur in 2OT

Box Score WAIPIO, HAWAII (September 28, 2015)—Jackson Groves' header with less than three minutes remaining in double overtime helped propel the Hawaii Pacific men's soccer team to a dramatic 1-0 win over visiting Notre Dame de Namur University in a PacWest Conference contest at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Park.

The Sharks (4-2, 2-0 PacWest) turned to Groves, a physical player known for his defense, who headed the ball stemming from Erik Kemsies' corner kick past the diving Argonauts goalkeeper Alex Clewis.
 
The Argonauts (2-4, 1-1) out-shot HPU 11-8 in regulation, but the Sharks pushed the pace in bonus time to the tune of a 5-0 shot advantage. Eduardo Palacios kept a clean sheet for HPU through 108 minutes of action and racked up five saves in the winning effort.
 
HPU returns to the pitch on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 3 p.m. at Atherton Field to face Fresno Pacific University in a PacWest Conference matchup.
