August 28, 2008 Salt Lake City, UT – A shot by Mesa State with less than two minutes to go in the overtime period was enough to seal the 2-1 victory for the Mavericks over Saint Martin’s Thursday at Westminster College. The Saints struck first as Tucker Maxwell converted a penalty kick at the 80:28 mark to put SMU up 1-0. Less than four minutes later MSU’s Eric Anderson tied things up sending the game into overtime. The score remained tied through most of the overtime until with 1:17 to go Mesa State’s Tim Lynn sent a shot into the left side of the net off a corner kick from Mitchell Reid. “We got great games from some of our new players today,” said head coach Rob Walker. “Tony Armitage and Mickey Crudo played well in the back and Xan Nixon did well up front. Captain Tucker Maxwell showed great leadership.” Zac Lubin covered the goal for the Saints and made six saves before giving up the game-winner. “All in all, if you take a look at where we started out as a first year program a year ago and where we ended up today, we’re really looking good. Mesa is a strong program but we put ourselves forward very well today,” said Walker. The Saints get ready to take on Metro State on Friday.
