How It Happened
With just over four minutes remaining in double overtime, Tyler Dickson headed in a service from Ryan Oakley to give Rhode Island its second overtime victory in as many games. Oakley - whose initial corner kick was blocked along the edge of the box - gathered the Duquesne clearance and found Dickson at the far post for the 2-1 win.

Oakley also scored the first goal of the game, curling in a free kick from 25 yards out at the 17:52 mark. The Rams held on to the lead until the 86th minute, when Duquesne's Colin Phillips netted an equalizer off an assist from Fredrik Borenstein.
