FLUSHING, N.Y. – Junior Danny Stoker bent home a 20-yard free kick in the 103rd minute Saturday afternoon, giving the Queens College men's soccer team a 1-0, double-overtime victory in its East Coast Conference opener against visting Molloy College.

The host Knights (4-5-1, 1-0 ECC) and the Lions (0-9-1, 0-2-1 ECC) played evenly throughout the match, with both sides taking five corner kicks apiece and Molloy holding a 16-15 shots advantage.

Queens played a man down from the 73rd minute on, and junior keeper Nelson Restrepo (E. Elmhurst, N.Y.), making his first start in a QC uniform, saw eight shots fired his way through the rest of the second half – making two stops in the process – to keep the match scoreless.

Meanwhile, Restrepo's counterpart, Justin Corke (eight saves) turned aside a pair of shots during that 17-minute stretch as well, forcing extra time.

Corke stopped the only shot of the first overtime period in the 98th minute when he thwarted Grant Edick's attempt, forcing another scheduled 10-minute session. However, after the Lions committed a red-card foul on a QC breakaway just outside the box in the 103rd minute of action, it was Stoker who stepped up and found the top-left corner of the goal to send his team to victory.

Head coach Carl Christian's Queens side is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon in Pomona, N.Y., when the Knights will continue ECC play against conference-leading St. Thomas Aquinas College (four points; 1-0-1 record).
