The UMSL men's soccer team only wanted a chance.

A chance to shock the GLVC, a chance to right the ship, a chance at the end.

Well, the soccer deities certainly came through as Mylz Barrington -- with 35 seconds remaining in the first overtime period -- was taken out by the Flyers' goalkeeper, Sebastian Doppelhoffer, and the Tritons were awarded a penalty kick attempt.

Barrington yielded to teammate, Leo Sowa, who drilled the shot in the upper left corner of the net -- sending the Tritons bench into a frenzy while the Flyers players hit the turf in disbelief.

With the win, the Tritons move to just below .500 (2-3 overall and 1-2 in the GLVC), while the previously undefeated Flyers drop to 4-1-1 and 2-1 in the conference.

A proactive approach illuminated the game plan today, as touches and solid runs down both seams and wings put the Flyers on their heels.

In the opening half, it took the Tritons only 23 minutes to find pay dirt.

With the offense gunning down the left seam, the defense drew to that side, opening up Tritons' Drew Schenk who connected from the middle of the box to give the Tritons the 1-0 lead. Schenk and company never looked back.

Sowa was credited with the assist.

The Flyers found their lone score with 12 minutes remaining in the opening half.

This marks UMSL's first win since its 3-2 win at Newman on Sept. 10.

The Tritons now prepare for Friday's home opener against Truman State University.
