Dubuque goal sinks men's soccer in second OT

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Gonzalo Hernandez scored the game-winning goal less than two minutes into the second overtime as Dubuque stunned the Simpson men's soccer team 2-1 on Saturday.

Brandon Wiley assisted on the game-winner and added a goal himself for the Spartans (6-7-3, 4-1-1 Iowa Conference).

Wiley's goal in the 54th minute gave Dubuque a 1-0 lead that lasted until Garrett Pochop evened the score in the 61st minute. Pochop took a cross from Cody Jacobson and found the back of the net from 8 yards out. 

The game remained tied until the 102nd minute, when Hernandez lofted a shot from 10 yards out to help Dubuque avenge a pair of losses to the Storm in 2013.
