Patchogue, NY| Senior Justin Busto scored less than four minutes into overtime as the St. Joseph's College (L.I.) men's soccer team earned a dramatic 2-1 come-from-behind victory over SUNY Purchase (6-7-1, 3-2-1 Skyline) at Danzi Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

With the win, the Golden Eagles, who remain atop the Skyline Conference standings with a 6-0-1 mark, extend their unbeaten streak to seven games and improve to 6-5-1 on the year.

The winner came off a right-sided cross by sophomore Damian Duda, who saw his service clipped by the Purchase keeper, but a waiting Busto was positioned on the doorstep and finished off his second game-winning goal of the year.

The Panthers tallied the game's opening goal in the 49th minute when Kayode Tyler converted a penalty attempt shortly after the break.

Purchase carried the play over the next 20 minutes, but as regulation time ran down the Golden Eagles ramped up the pressure and finally found an equalizer in the 88th minute.

After a free-kick attempt just outside the box to the left of the Purchase goal, senior Robert Gomez played a cross into the box where a waiting John Alves (Fr.) used his head to knot the score up at one.

Sophomore Mike Paterson (1-3-0) made eight saves in his first-career victory, while Purchase's Jordan Meade was credited with six saves.

The Golden Eagles return to action on Wednesday, October 18 when they hit the road to face non-conference foe Stockton University at 7:00 pm. Live video and stats for the match will be available here.
