MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Saint Anselm College men's soccer team put up on of its best defensive efforts of the season, but a Panther goal scored in the fourth minute of overtime handed visiting Adelphi University a 1-0 victory over the Hawks Saturday evening at Melucci Field.

• Goalkeeper Sergio Reyes collected his ninth win of the year with one save.
