The ball didn't make it there. Aaron King, charging in for the Red Raiders, blocked the attempt.
The junior scored past the sliding goalie to give the Red Raiders a 2-1 victory in double overtime in a Cape-Atlantic American boys' soccer game Wednesday.
With one minute left in regulation, it looked as if Collin Noble's first-half goal would be the decisive one for Ocean City. But Matt Heist scored for the Hermits off an assist from Nate Bledsoe to tie the score.
The Red Raiders' Russell Lindsey made seven saves to earn the win.
Tri-County Royal. Justin Curtin and Vince DeMatteo scored first-half goals to send Williamstown to a 2-1 win at Clearview. Ismail Kaya had two assists.
