GREENSBURG - Alex Dysen tied the game at one apiece, and Lloyd Davies hit the eventual game-winner as the Seton Hill University men's soccer team upended Slippery Rock, 2-1, in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference action on Saturday afternoon at Dick's Sporting Goods Field in Greensburg.
// NOTABLES

// HOW IT HAPPENED
• Alejandro Fernandez gave the visitors the lead in the 43rd minute when his free kick just outside the box found its way to the top right hand corner of the goal. SHU's Bobby White did get a hand on the shot, but it was too hot to handle as Slippery Rock would take a 1-0 lead into halftime.
• Seton Hill would strike back in the 48th minute when a long ball from Liam Kettle reached a streaking Alex Dysen just outside the goal. Facing a charging Rock goalkeeper, Dysen calmly flicked the ball off of his knee over Derek Hoffman to tie the game up at 1-1.
• Lloyd Davies would give SHU the lead when he headed a ball in off of a Tormod Simonsen corner kick. This would be all the Griffins needed as they would hold on for the 2-1 victory.
