COLUMBUS -- Ohio Dominican scored the winning goal with just seconds left in regulation, downing the No. 21-ranked Ohio Northern men's soccer team 2-1 Wednesday evening at Panther Field.

The Polar Bears fall to 2-1-1, while the host Panthers improve to 3-1.

Ohio Dominican is currently a dual member of NCAA Division II and NAIA.

Christian Huelsman scored Northern's goal, his third of the young season.

Andrew Elder gave ODU a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 17th minute, but Huelsman tied the match in the 51st minute off an assist from Dan Schade and Cameron Johnson.

But Liam Fitzgerald got the match-winner with just 49 seconds left to give the Panthers the win.

The shots were even at 13-13 and Mike Church and Mike Girardot combining for five saves in goal for ONU.

The Polar Bears will return to action Saturday afternoon in a 1 pm match at Case Western Reserve.
