Men's Soccer Southern Conference

UNC Greensboro Advances to Round of 16 in NCAA Men's Soccer Championship

MORGANTOWN, WV -- Scott Jones scored 6:11 remaining in the second overtime as UNC Greensboro knocked off sixth-seeded West Virginia, 2-1, Wednesday night to earn a third consecutive trip to the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament's Round of 16.

Jones scored off a Mike Richardson feed for his seventh goal of the season. It was his second heroic goal in as many NCAA Tournament games. It was Jones who scored with just 24 seconds left in regulation time to lift UNCG to a 2-1 win over Virginia Tech in the opening round on Saturday.

Jones also assisted on UNCG's first goal, which came off the foot of Randi Patterson at 51:18. West Virginia (15-3-3) tied the game at 69:40 on a goal by Chris Wittig.

Freshman goalkeeper Nate Berry stopped two penalty kicks to preserve a then-scoreless match.

The Spartans will face the winner of the Saint Louis / Northwestern match. That match was postponed Wednesday night due to weather in Saint Louis. It will be played at 5 pm Eastern Time on Thursday. The third round match will be played over the weekend at a site to be determined.
