This is a stunning result against first place WIU.....granted, the Leathernecks had nothing but pride to play for having clinched first seed in the tournament but this 3-2 win is still a huge win for our guys who have underachieved most of the season...maybe they will get hot like they did at the end of last year when they made it to the Summit League Final.....congrats to the boys today!.... :clap:

here is the write-up from orugoldeneagles.com... :clap:

TULSA, Okla.-The Golden Eagles advance to the Summit League Tournament in dramatic fashion on Senior Day, defeating the No.1 seed Western Illinois 3-2 with a goal by freshman Trevor Laffoon in the final minute of regulation.

ORU (6-10-1, 3-2-1 Summit League) was in a three-way tie for third place at the beginning of the day and needed a victory to qualify for the postseason. The victory over WIU will likely give the Golden Eagles the No.2 seed.

Western Illinois (10-6-1, 4-2 Summit League) came into the match with the No.1 seed locked up, but played hard as they looked to spoil the day for the Golden Eagles. The Leathernecks took the early lead, and ended the first half with a 1-0 lead off a goal by junior Nathan Bruinsma in the 42^nd minute. But Western Illinois could not hold the lead, thanks to three second half goals by junior J.D. James, Freshman Marco Hernandez and the game winner by Laffoon.
