WEST POINT, N.Y. – An overtime game-winning score by Sam Epitime highlighted the senior day festivities for the Army West Point men's soccer team on Wednesday night as the Black Knights bested Boston U., 2-1, at Malek Stadium at Clinton Field.

Epitime had himself a day on the pitch for Army (5-7-4, 2-4-3 Patriot League), not only scoring his first career goal, but tallying the game-winner as well to cap his rookie campaign. The freshman had some help though as Keenan O'Shea, D'Anthony Brown and Jake Burgess each posted an assist.
