NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Junior Chad Parente sent a corner kick into the back of the net 4:32 into the second overtime as the No. 3 seed JWU (Providence) men's soccer team rallied from a two-goal deficit with less than 10 minutes remaining to stun No. 2 Albertus Magnus 3-2 in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Semifinal action Wednesday night at Celentano Field.

Graduate student Aidan Bagley and junior Carlos Andrade scored 5:18 apart in the second half to send the Wildcats (15-2-3) to the conference championship match for the third-consecutive season, where they will face top-seeded University of Saint Joseph (CT) on Saturday in Connecticut.

Less than three minutes after longtime JWU head coach David Kulik received a red card late in the first half, the Falcons grabbed the lead on a goal by Julius McNeil at 41:42. The home team then doubled their lead on a PK goal from Aiden Coelho at 68:12 following a yellow card to senior Brian Miller.

JWU finally caught a break late in the second half when a yellow card to the Falcons led to a PK goal from Bagley – his team-leading 12th of the season and seventh penalty kick tally – to bring the visitors within one. One minute later, Albertus Magnus' Gabriel Paglia was accessed a second yellow, leaving his team down one student-athlete for the remainder of the match. Senior Conner Elliott then set up Andrade for the tying marker at 85:57 which sent the match to OT.

The Wildcats outshot the Falcons 3-0 in the first extra session before capitalizing on their seventh corner kick of the match in the second overtime. Parente sent a kick from right corner nearest the JWU bench and it ricocheted off bodies and into the net, setting off a frenzy and leaving Falcons student-athletes in disbelief.

The match featured 10 yellow cards and three red cards, the last of which was issued to the Albertus Magnus bench at the conclusion of the match. The Wildcats closed the night with a 23-13 edge in shots – including a 19-4 edge over the final 59:32. JWU graduate student Sean Furtek – replacing injured senior goalkeeper Declan Caster – closed the night with one save as he improved to 5-0-0 on the season.
