OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.oldwestburypanthers.com) – The SUNY College at Old Westbury men's soccer freshman Thomas Manz scored in the 97th minute of play to lift the Panthers to a 3-2 overtime win over the City Tech Yellow Jackets Monday evening at the Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex (Baseball Field). With the win, OW improved to 11-6 overall while CT falls to 5-5-2.

Old Westbury opened the scoring in the eighth minute as Hansel Riddock scored off a feed from classmate Thomas Manz to put the Panthers up 1-0. City Tech responded less than three minutes later when Juan Mendoza hooked up with Carl Michel for the score past OW keeper Pablo Diaz at 9:43. Less than a minute later the Yellow Jackets took the lead as Mark Vincent netted the penalty kick goal past Diaz.

The score would stay that way until Hansel Riddock tied the game up by firing home his first career multi-score game off an assist from Scott Madocks at 47:57. In overtime, Steven Greene slotted a pass to Thomas Manz, who then connected on his third goal of the season in fashion, sending a bicycle kick past City Tech's Nelson Restrepo for the game-winner.
