COACH'S QUOTE
"I think we had control of the game, but we provided Siena a few opportunities to be in the match," said head coach Rob Dow. "We scored on to set pieces, but we need to continue to be successful creating more dangerous chances in the run of play. That's kind of the story of the night."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Zach Gardner scored the game's first goal in the 16th minute when he capitalized on a mishap in front of the Vermont goal. The unassisted tally was his second of the season.
• The Catamounts tied the game at one apiece in the 34th minute after Zach Barrett headed his first score of the season. Nacho Lerech was credited with the assist after delivering a corner kick into the box to set up Barrett.
• Adrian Schulze Solano scored his first collegiate goal in the 45th minute after banging home a rebound on a last-second corner kick to give Vermont the lead heading into halftime.
• Arachchige-Jensen's game-tying goal came off a free kick from well outside the 18-yard box. The rookie fired a deep strike into the upper left corner to send the game to overtime.
• Vermont fired 12 shots in both overtime periods with the man-advantage after Siena's Jesper Schone Vogtengen earned a late red card in regulation. The Catamounts tested Greg Monroe (11 saves) twice with shots from Lerech and Yves Borie, but were unable to find the clinching tally.

• Lerech and Alex Nagy both registered a team-high six shots, with Nagy producing two shots on goal.
