MADISON, N.J. - Sophomore Brett Spafford scored the game-winning goal with 26 seconds left in overtime and junior Craig Wilkie scored a pair of late goals to force the extra session as the Drew University men's lacrosse team rallied for an 11-10 non-conference victory over Manhattanville College Tuesday evening in Ranger Stadium.

The Rangers gained possession with just over a minute left and quickly called timeout. Junior Tommy Larmore then sent a pass to a cutting Spafford, who ripped in a shot across his body and inside the left post for the game-winner.

Wilkie finished with four goals on the night and helped Drew erase a two-goal deficit in the fourth quarter, scoring twice in less than a minute to make it 10-10 with 6:59 remaining. His final tally of the night also marked his 100th career point in just the 22nd game of his career. 

The Rangers (7-4) walked away with their first OT victory since their 14-13 win at Goucher in the final game of the 2019 season.

Freshman Mike DeMayo added three goals and one assist for the Rangers while Larmore finished with one goal and two assists. Sophomore GJ Nazziola won 18-of-23 faceoffs and picked up 10 ground balls, and senior Jack Tynan notched five ground balls and three caused turnovers.

Junior Yoel Ovadya played the final 37 minutes in goal for Drew and finished with six saves while allowing just four goals. Senior Anthony Tufaro started between the pipes and turned aside four shots over the opening 23 minutes.

Drew outshot Manhattanville 58-32, but Valiant goalie Jason Frezza recorded 21 saves.

The Rangers came out hot offensively, outscoring the visitors 5-1 to open the game, with five different players scoring for Drew.

The Valiants came back with a 5-0 run to assume a 6-5 lead with 3:20 left before halftime. Wilkie stopped the surge when he scored with 1:10 left to make it a 6-6 game at the intermission.

Manhattanville answered with the first two goals of the second half to go up 8-6 lead with 6:58 left in the third quarter. But DeMayo answered with two of his own to tie the game at 8-all with 6:58 remaining in the period.

The Valiants pushed in front one final time, scoring back-to-back tallies late in the third quarter to make it 10-8. But that's when the Rangers dug in defensively and blanked the visitors over the final 20 minutes.

Neither side would manage a goal in the fourth quarter until Wilkie struck with 7:56 left. He then pulled Drew even less than a minute later, posting up his defender before stepping back and drilling a low shot inside the right post for his 100th point. 

After the Valiants turned it over inside the last minute the Rangers took a pair of shots in the closing seconds, but the second was denied by Frezza.

Ovadya made a pair of saves in overtime, the first coming with 3:13 left after Manhattanville had won the opening faceoff. After a Ranger turnover, he would stop his final shot of the night with 1:36 showing. The two sides then traded turnovers, setting up the big finish. 

Drew returns to Landmark Conference action on Saturday, when it hosts Juniata at 1 p.m.
