That season the Eagles tied the program's D1 record for wins with 15, finishing the year with a 15-6-1 mark. Winthrop earned a golden goal overtime win over Liberty in the semifinals of the Big South Conference tournament when Henry Kalungi laced a shot into the top corner from about 35 yards from goal. The Eagles went on to win the Big South Championship, 3-0 over High Point as Daniel Revivo netted a hat trick.

ON THIS DAY

In 2015, the Eagles hosted UNC Asheville riding a four-game winning streak and coming off a win over #25 Radford. The Bulldogs opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Zach Joens pushed a free kick past Fabian Broich. Less than a minute into the second half the Bulldogs doubled their lead when Joe Lacasto hammered home a loose ball in the box around the edge of the six. In the 67th minute the Eagles finally got on the board as Max Hasenstab scored off a pass from Nil Vinyals. Winthrop equalized in the 77th minute when Jordan Stoddart redirected a cross from C.J. Miller into the net from the top of the six. The Eagles completed the comeback victory as Hasenstab fired a shot into the lower right corner in the 93rd minute for the golden goal. It was the third time in four games the Eagles went to overtime.

UP NEXT
