Old Dominion Stuns Brown, 2-1,in Double Overtime

Old Dominion forward Ambane Emmanuel scored a breakaway goal with 3:15 left in the second overtime, and ODU upset sixth-seeded Brown, 2-1, in the second-round of the NCAA men's soccer tournament a cold but still night at Stevenson Field.

Emmanuel, who had been off-side several times in the game, got behind the Bears defense, caught up with a pass from Nane Joseph and bounced a shot by goalkeeper Paul Grandstrand.

Brown had dominated the first 10-minute overtime, but goalkeeper Evan Newton saved shots by David Walls, Nick Elenz-Martin and Chris Roland twice. Kevin Davies just missed to the right.

Davies had scored the equalizer at 48:07 when he lifted a shot from a scramble in front that cleared keeper Evan Newton's right shoulder.

ODU midfielder A.J. Kulp scored the first goal on a 45-yard free kick at 11:05 when Brown goalkeeper Paul Grandstrand hesitated momentarily as the ball bounced to his left just beyond Brown's defensive line. The ball caught the right side of the net.

Brown, the Ivy League champion, finished 15-2-1. ODU, the Colonial Athletic Association champ, improved to 14-6-3 and will play Virginia Tech this weekend.
