LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Freshman defender Eddie Williamson delivered the golden goal in overtime as the Bellarmine University men's soccer team defeated McKendree 1-0 on Friday at Owsley B. Frazier Stadium in Great Lakes Valley Conference action.

It was Williamson's second goal of the season for Bellarmine (4-1, 2-1 GLVC) and came in the 94th minute against the Bearcats (2-2, 0-2). The Knights' defense notched its first shutout of the year.

In the overtime, freshman defender Greg Fischer curled a free kick into the box that the Knights attempted to head into the net. McKendree goalkeeper Ian Bender batted the shot down, but Williamson rammed in the rebound for his first collegiate game-winner.
