LATROBE (Sept. 14) - Senior Gage Arnold scored the golden goal with 3:58 remaining in double overtime as the Bearcats rallied from a 3-1 deficit to post a 4-3 win over La Roche in non-conference action on the SVC Turf.

SVC fell behind 3-1 after La Roche scored two goals in a 6:33 span (58:02 and 64:35) to break a 1-1 first-half tie.

Sophomore Brody Ruffner answered back just 1:38 after the Redhawks' third goal on an assist by classmate Michael Cerchione to make it a 3-2 game. Just over 10 minutes later, SVC tied the game when Ruffner found sophomore Daniel Moore who beat the La Roche keeper.
