Jonathan Onyeaka scored the game-winning goal on a header early in the second overtime period as Queens University of Charlotte downed Tusculum College 3-2 in a South Atlantic Conference men's soccer match Saturday night.

The Royals (3-1-0, 1-0-0 SAC) won in their first match as a member of the SAC by erasing a 2-1 deficit on a goal by Gersi Cilingiri with 2:11 left in the second half, after the Pioneers (1-1-0, 0-1-0 SAC) had held the lead since the 16-minute mark of the first half.

Jonathan Spicher had a goal and an assist for the Pioneers while Tyler Linkous also scored for Tusculum, which yielded a goal to Erick Suarez just 1:16 into the match before scoring twice in a 5 1/2-minute span to take the lead.

Spicher scored at 10:35 off an assist from Roberto Pimentel to tie the match at 1-1, and then assisted as Linkous lobbed a shot over Royals keeper Montrell Morgan at 16:02 for a 2-1 Pioneer lead.

Queens put pressure on the Tusculum goal throughout the second half, finally converting with just over two minutes left on a free kick as Cilingiri scored off assists from Austin Huddy and Thiago Andrade.

Tusculum did not register a shot in overtime, as Queens had all three attempts in the first extra period and the only one of the second, which Onyeaka headed home just 1:26 in for his second goal of the season and the Royals victory.

Queens finished the match with a 17-10 advantage in shots over Tusculum, while both teams were equal in corner kicks at 5-5. The Pioneers committed 19 fouls to 17 by Queens in the contest, including four of the five in overtime.

Ashley Elsey finished with three saves in goal for the Pioneers, while Morgan equaled him in the Royals' net with three stops of his own.

Tusculum will be back in action Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Mars Hill in a SAC match.
