ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. - Dan Featherer found the back of the net with 2:38 remaining in the second overtime to lift Elizabethtown to a 2-1 victory over McDaniel in non-conference men's soccer action on Tuesday.

In the 108th minute, Geoff Cochrane served a ball into the box that Fetherer gathered, turned and blasted into the back of the net for the game-winner.

Off a scramble in front of the net, Javeim Blanchette knocked home a shot at the 33:39 mark to stake Elizabethtown to a 1-0 first-half lead.

In the 62nd minute, Marrio Davis (Baltimore, Md./Friends School of Baltimore) found Max Rutherford (Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill), who evened the game with a shot from 10 yards out.
