The SBI No. 2 ranked Syracuse Orange held off a resilient St. John’s squad, 3-2, in double overtime on Sunday night at SU soccer stadium. It’s the second time in a week the Orange were pushed to the brink following last Sunday’s double overtime win over Loyola-Marymount in the Central New York Classic.
After a highly-contested first half, Syracuse sophomore defender, Miles Robinson opened the scoring for the Orange in the 43rd minute. St. John’s equalized, and later took the lead, in the second half with goals coming from Alistair Johnston, and Harry Cooksley. With nine minutes remaining in regulation though, Robinson scored his second of the match for the Orange, forcing the extra period. Syracuse sophomore Jonathan Hagman scored the winner, and his first career goal, for the Orange in the 105th minute, to improve the Orange to 4-0.
