Freshman Jack Bill scored 40 seconds into overtime to give the Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team a 12-11 win at 15th-ranked Gettysburg.

The Mules (7-7, 4-2), who won their fourth in a row, never trailed after halftime in defeating the Bullets (8-5, 4-2) for just the fourth time ever. Of the three nationally ranked teams in the Centennial Conference, Muhlenberg has taken two to overtime.

The Mules can clinch a CC playoff berth with a home win against Haverford on Wednesday.

Gettysburg netted four of the last five goals of regulation to erase a 10-7 deficit. Both teams had shots after the tying goal at thr 1:59 mark, but none went in and the teams went into overtime.

Sophomore Michael Drago won the opening faceoff of the extra period when he was held by the Bullet faceoff man. Freshman Chase Kusko took the ball behind the cage, brought it out and passed to senior Wyatt Malia. Gettysburg double-teamed the Mules' leading scorer, who passed it back to Kusko on the right side of the field. As a Bullet defender slid over to cover Kusko, Bill slipped into the open spot, took a pass from Kusko on the run and bounced a shot in at close range for his fourth goal of the game.

Kusko, who scored the winner in Muhlenberg's overtime win against Colorado College, is the first Mule player since 2004 to score and assist on overtime winners in the same season.

The four goals gave Bill 33 for the season, making him just the third first-year player in program history to net 30 in a season.

Neither team led by more than one goal in the first half, which ended with the score tied at 6-6. Kusko scored off an assist from Malia to open the second-half scoring, and two minutes later freshman Ryan Neal (pictured above) scored to give the Mules their first two-goal lead, at 8-6. 

A goal by senior Ryan May, and a man-up tally from Kusko off a feed from junior Spencer Hallagan in the first 30 seconds of the final period, extended the Muhlenberg lead to three.

Malia finished with 2 goals and 2 assists, putting him over 50 points for the season.

Senior Stephen Krug made 12 saves, hitting double figures for the fourth time in the last five games.
