WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace College's men's soccer team bested Taylor on Saturday night in penalty kicks 10-9 to advance to the Crossroads League Semifinals.

The Lancers (13-3-2) and Trojans played to a scoreless tie after 110 minutes of action before Grace's dramatic PK victory.

The Lancers will now play host to Spring Arbor on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the right to play in the Crossroads league Championship.

Despite the final score, Grace dominated the game holding a dramatic edge in shots (23-4) and corner kicks (13-3).

Taylor (5-11-2) had the first shot on goal with a try on goal from distance that was easily handled by Matteo Conci.

The Lancers responded less than a minute later, but Blake Burns had his shot travel high of the goal.

Grace threatened again when Martim Sequeira created a chance following a pair of craft moves but the score remained level when the seniors shot went wide.

Frederik Christmann and Jonny Mora each had shots go wide as the Lancers' chances began to mount late in the half as the Trojans could not find any offensive success.

Sequeira had a dangerous chance late in the half after Josh Cruz headed the ball down, but he was unable to find his target as the game entered the halftime intermission tied at zero.

Grace had a 5-2 shot advantage after the first 45 minutes, and each team had one corner kick.

As the second half got underway, Taylor seemed to settle into a defensive gameplan.

The Lancers took full advantage as their offense began to attack in waves. Within the first ten minutes of the second half, the Lancers had five corner kicks and two dangerous shots that forced a pair of saves from Taylor's keeper.

At the midpoint of the half Juan Garcia had a shot kept out of the net by a diving save and Sequeira was unable to get to the loose ball before a Taylor defender cleared it from danger.

Conci, who was not tested often, made a timely save with 22 minutes left in regulation after the Trojans got off a shot following a Grace turnover.

As the clock clicked under 10 minutes the Lancers offense began to swarm again.

Grace had two corner kicks and four shots in a two minute stretch. All four of the Lancers' shots were unable to find the net though as Taylor's defense blocked each shot.

Grace continued to pressure to the end of regulation but the game remained deadlocked.

Grace continued to dominate possession in the overtime periods and outshot the Trojans 4-0 in extra time. The Trojans defense held strong though as the game would go to PKs to determine who would advance to the semifinals.

The teams went blow-for-blow through the first nine rounds, with both teams scoring on each kick.

In the tenth round Diogo Lopes scored first for the Lancers to put pressure on Taylor to extend the game. The ensuing shot went high to seal Grace's semifinal berth.

Sequeira's eight shots doubled the Trojans shot total as a team. Conci made three saves in his tenth shutout performance of the season.
