CHESTER, Pa. – Nick Brison scored in spectacular fashion in the 88th minute, sealing a 3-2 victory for the Widener University men's soccer team on Saturday night against the Bulldogs of DeSales University.

23 minutes into the second half, DeSales tied the game at two. Both teams played aggressively for the remainder of the half, and overtime seemed likely, until Nick Brison unleashed a rocket of a shot from about 25 yards out, placing the ball in the upper left panel of the opposing team's net.
