Barons Defeat Bethany in OT, 2-1

The Barons of Franciscan University of Steubenville took on Bethany College on Sunday afternoon.  After a grueling 90 minutes that ended with a score of 1-1, John Paul Williams scored to give Franciscan a 2-1 victory.  With the win, the Barons improved to 2-3 on the season.

Steve Duran once again led the Barons on the day, tallying 10 shots (5 on goal).  Zeph Swope had 3 shots and the Barons' first goal of the game, while John Paul Williams had 3 shots (2 on goal) and the game-winning goal.  Cameron Ward was the offensive standout for Bethany with 6 shots (5 on goal) and 1 assist.

"We played well today," Barons coach Johann Marin remarked in a post-game interview.  "We had about seven clear-cut chances to score.  It took a while for the goals to come, but eventually we were able to capitalize.  It was a very physical game, but it ended well for us.  We played strong, and that was what enabled us to get the win.  We're looking forward to our match again Medaille next week."

The Barons will play at Medaille on Saturday at 6 p.m.
