Mokrejs' Homecoming Heroics Gives Men's Soccer Double Overtime Victory Over Post

PHILADELPHIA - Val Mokrejs scored two goals, including the game-winner in the second overtime period after the Rams tied the game late in regulation, as the Thomas Jefferson University men's soccer team (2-4-1, 1-3-1 CACC) stunned visiting Post, 3-2, on Homecoming Saturday.
 
GAMEPLAY
The Rams started strong in the first 20 minutes of the contest, recording the first five shots of the game. The Eagles countered with the next three shots but the teams remained scoreless. Jefferson broke through in the 35th minute as Geoffrey Little took a throw in the attacking end and Mokrejs directed it into the goal for a 1-0 lead. Post responded with a four-shot flurry late in the half but the Rams maintained the advantage.
 
The Eagles quickly tied the game with their first shot of the second half. Post sent two passes along the top of the box before firing a shot into the left side of the goal in the 51st minute. The Eagles had a 3-1 shot advantage over the next 20 minutes before finding the back of the net again to take the lead in the 73rd minute. Post converted with a header off of a corner kick.
 
With under a minute remaining, Jefferson was awarded a free kick outside the box on the right side. The opportunity was cleared out of the box but right to Little. Little sent a pass forward to Mohamed Jawara, who chipped the ball towards the right side of the box. David Bollmann was waiting all alone in the area and did not miss, sending the Ravenhill Field crowd into a frenzy as the Rams evened the score with 31 seconds to go.
 
Jefferson had the lone shot in the first overtime period with Mokrejs sending it high. Early in the second extra session, the Rams were awarded a corner kick on the right side. Glenn Holmes sent the ball into the left side of the box as Mokrejs snuck off the goal line and headed the ball just inside the left post for the victory.
