CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Junior midfielder Jaron Putmon (Williamstown, NJ/Williamstown) scored the game-winning goal in the 105th minute of play to lift the host Washington College men's soccer team over visiting Goucher, 2-1, in double overtime this afternoon at Shriver Field. The Shoremen (3-2-1) have now defeated the Gophers (4-4) in each of the last five meetings between the two teams.

Washington took a 1-0 lead at 51:41 when senior midfielder Tom Baker (Baltimore, MD/Archbishop Curley) scored on a break off an assist from sophomore midfielder Jordan Lange (Hyde Park, NY/Franklin D. Roosevelt). Goucher tied the score at the 62:07 mark as Gary Decker knocked in a goal off a cross from Eddie Emokpae. Putmon dribbled around a defender to score his goal at 104:17.
