Boule's Overtime Winner Carries Macs Over Ravens, 3-2

Box Score

ROSEMONT, Pa.- Looking for a win to snap their two game Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) losing skid, the Macs (4-8-1, 2-3-0 CSAC) were pushed to double overtime on the road at Rosemont (1-10-1, 1-4-1 CSAC) on Tuesday afternoon, but sophomore Nick Boule provided the heroics in the 103rd minute as he took a pass from junior Alex Noel and scored the game-winner for the 3-2 Mighty Mac victory.
 
Sophomore Mark Staudenmayer and Noel also registered goals, and the assist for Noel was the 13th of his career giving him the most in program history as he now holds the career marks in goals, assists, and points at Immaculata.
 
The win also marks the 27th in the head coaching career of Joe Clementi, the most in school history as he passed Mike Barr.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

-The Ravens did not let that lead last long as Josh Dawicki scored in the 50th minute and they took a 2-1 lead in the 68th minute on a goal by Sal Turelli
-However, the Macs were ready with a response this time as senior Ben Gialoretto found Noel for his 10th goal of the season and a tie game at 2-2 in the 73rd minute
-The teams would exchange blows down the stretch and through the first overtime, but it went to the second overtime still knotted at 2-2
-After leading the team with five game-winners a year ago, Boule notched his second winner of the season to give the Mighty Macs the huge win on an assist from Noel in the 103rd minute
