BOX SCORE

INDIANAPOLIS - Trailing 3-0 at halftime, the IPFW Mastodons scored three straight second-half goals to send the in-state rivalry game into overtime, only to see the Jaguars reach the back of the net in the fourth minute of the second overtime to give host IUPUI the 4-3 Summit League victory.

The Jaguars scored twice within the first 11 minutes of the contest, the first on a corner kick in the ninth minute, and then on an own goal less than three minutes later to give the hosts a two-goal advantage. The lead went to 3-0 in the 31st minute, and sending IUPUI into the locker room with a 3-0 halftime advantage.

Fourteen minutes into the second half, freshman Myles Stanley found the back of the net after a corner kick was knocked around in the box, before the freshman put his foot on the ball and ended the shutout hopes in the process.

Stanley, who had one career goal scored coming into the match, added his second of the contest just over six minutes later off of a Colin Helmrich cross, cutting the deficit to one.

Another 10 minutes passed before Scott Williams provided the equalizer when Kyle Ackerman's shot was stopped by the keeper, with the ball finding Williams' foot, and then the back of the net, knotting the score at three apiece.

The Mastodons would get two more shots over the final 14 minutes, but could not find the back of the net, sending the match into an extra period. The first extra stanza was played with a stifling defense, as each team was able to get off just one shot apiece, and neither into the goal.

IUPUI controlled the action in the second overtime, peppering IPFW goalkeeper Brandon Cloutier with a corner kick and a subsequent shot, before the Jaguars' Sam Fuller found the net with a header from inside the six, helping IUPUI hold on for the win.

IPFW out-shot the Jaguars 15-10, as Cloutier had one save, while his counterpart, Tyler Keever, had three.

The Mastodons won't leave Fort Wayne for its final three matches of the 2011 regular season, hosting UMKC on October 26, with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m.
