Metro State 2, #24 CSU-Pueblo 1 (2OT)

PUEBLO, Colo. - CSU-Pueblo's mastery of Metro State ended Sunday as the Pack was on the short end of a 2-1 double-overtime win vs. the Roadrunners.

The game was ended when Mike Martinez fielded a pass from Tyler Hambrick in the 108th minute for the game-winner. 

CSU-Pueblo Head Coach Roy Stanley said he was pleased with the hustle, the focus and determination his guys have continued to show.

The overtime was set up midway through the second-half by the ThunderWolves when Erik Andersen (Sr., Phoenix, Ariz.) continued his hot streak and netted his fourth consecutive goal in as many games, extending what is now the second-longest consecutive goal-scoring streak in CSU-Pueblo history, after hitting home an unassisted goal in the 64th minute. 

The Pack defense continued to hold strong for the remainder of regulation, turning the Roadrunners away on numerous opportunities.  Metro State outshot the Pack 18-8, including 4-2 in the overtime periods, which included the fateful game-winner.

The ThunderWolves' loss drops their conference record at 0-2 while moving their overall mark to 4-3.  Metro State improves to 5-2 overall and 2-0 in RMAC play.

CSU-Pueblo will now embark on an important four-game road trip vs. RMAC foes, beginning Friday at UC-Colorado Springs, a pivotal game in the all-important Steel and Silver Series between the two universities. 

"This obviously is a big four-game stretch for us away from our homefield, with this tough weekend we still believe we still are one of the top 3 teams in the RMAC," Stanley said.  "We just continue taking it one game at a time."
