Todd Curran's breakaway goal 19 seconds into the second sudden-death overtime gave fifth-ranked UC-San Diego a 2-1 victory over the Maroons in an NCAA Division III quarterfinal match.
"We defeated a really good team today," said Derek Armstrong, the Tritons' coach. "I was impressed with their preparation for the game and with their coach [Scott Allison]."
UC-San Diego (19-2-1) scored first on a goal by Erik Waldman at 21 minutes, 46 seconds of the first half off an assist from Curran.
Nineteenth-ranked Roanoke (20-4) came back to tie it when Todd Hallauer took a pass from Keith Arnott on the right side and chipped the ball over UC-San Diego goalie Michael Madden. Hallauer's shot banked off the left post and into the net at the 71:34 mark.
The teams then battled through the rest of regulation, two 15-minute extra periods and a 15-minute sudden-death period before Curran's goal ended the match 135 minutes, 19 seconds after it began.
The Maroons, making their first NCAA Tournament appearance, advanced further than any Old Dominion Athletic Conference team had before.

When Steve Jolley scored for the Tribe (12-5-3) at 47:21, it marked the first time in four NCAA Tournament games - a span of 317 minutes - that UVa's Jeff Causey had given up a goal.
The Cavaliers (18-3) will face Loyola, Md., a 1-0 winner over James Madison, in the second round. The date, site and time will be announced later this week.
