DANVILLE, Va. — Freshman Baste Endresen strikes for his first collegiate goal 56 seconds in overtime to power the Averett University men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Huntingdon College on senior day Sunday afternoon on Daly Field at Frank R. Campbell Stadium.
 
Averett (3-13-1, 1-9-1 USA South) battled throughout the match nearly taking an early 1-0 lead in the 4th minute when freshman Erik Blick headed a ball that was turned away by the Hawks goaltender. Senior Sean Dunbar had a chance seven minutes later when he ripped a shot that was also saved by the Hawks. 
 
The Cougars had two more scoring chances in the first half to take a 1-0 lead, the first of those two coming from freshman Nick Price and the second from Dunbar in the 30th minute, however, Huntingdon held the Cougars scoreless in the first half. 
 
Averett did not waste time early in the second half jumping out to an early 1-0 advantage as Senior Jake Searcy laced a ball to the back of the Huntingdon net off a perfectly placed cross by freshman Kellen Fees for his second score in as many days. 
 
Huntingdon (3-12-1, 2-8-1 USA South) managed to even that match in the 86th minute when Hunter Hall played a punt off the Cougars back line that he took wide and beat the Averett goalie to the far post. 
 
However, the Cougars did not miss a beat following the goal as 56 seconds into the opening overtime period freshman Lluc Pou played a ball outside the 18-yard box to the feet of Endresen that the freshman snuck past the outstretch arms of the Hawks goalkeeper for the game-winning score. 
 
Sunday featured two celebrations for the Cougars as club recognized its five seniors Austin Bramhall, Christian Hester, Huso Dukic, Sean Dunbar and Jake Seacy prior to kickoff.
