Seth Sinovic headed in the game-winner in the 99th minute off of a free kick from Andrei Gotsmanov to give Creighton a 2-1 overtime win over Connecticut 2-1 in the third round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament Saturday afternoon at Morrison Stadium.

The seventh-seeded Bluejays (16-1-2) advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament where they will travel to second-seeded and third-ranked 20-3-0 Maryland at noon next Saturday in College Park, Maryland.

Despite a dominating performance by the Bluejays, they needed to come-from-behind to keep their season alive. The Jays conceded a goal in the 33rd minute when UConn’s Tony Cascio snuck behind the Bluejay defense on a lead pass from Akeem Priestly and put his shot into the net for his second goal of the season and second in as many games.

CU out-shot the Huskies 11-2 in the first half and continued to control play after halftime, blasting 14 shots to just four by the Huskies after after the break.

The Jays finally broke through the packed-in UConn defense in the 79th minute on a set play. After a Huskie foul was called about 40 yards from the goal, Gotsmanov took the free kick for the Jays. He knocked in his service to the far post where freshman Ethan Finlay headed the ball in front of the net and Chris Schuler connected on a header of his own.

CU continued pressuring the Huskies after scoring the equalizer, but could not find the back of the net in regulation.

The Jays scored on their only shot of overtime. The play was set up afer UConn's Cruz Hernandez was issued a yellow card. Gotsmanov, the MVC Player of the Year, took the free kick again and the lefty put a perfectly placed low drive into the box where Sinovic flicked a header past diving UConn goalkeeper Josh Ford.

It was Sinovic's third goal of the season and his second game-winning tally in as many games in the NCAA postseason.

The win moves the Bluejays to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005 and the fourth time since 2002. UConn's loss ends the Huskies season with an 11-5-6 record.
