WAYNE, NJ - Senior Brett Shipe scored all three goals, including the
game winner in overtime as the visiting King's College men's soccer team
posted a 3-2 overtime victory over host William Paterson College
in the first round of the Wellesley Cup Saturday in Wayne, NJ.

King's took a 1-0 lead when Shipe scored off an assist from Dan Gibbons
at 26:30 of the first half. The Monarchs extended the advantage to 2-0
when Shipe struck net on the strength of an assist from Mark Wallis with

In the second stanza, William Paterson answered when Ryan Hughes scored
on an assist from Jay Hooper with 7:35 remaining. The Pioneers then sent
the game into overtime when Carlos Moreira scored a dramatic unassisted
goal with just 0:46 left in regulation.

Shipe ended the game suddenly when he scored the winning goal off a lead
pass from Jordan Miller with just 0:37 left in the first overtime frame.
