JOHNSON, Vt. – The Castleton men's soccer team wrapped up their non-conference schedule with a matchup against NVU Johnson Sunday afternoon, scoring goals in the 89^th and 90^th minutes to complete another dramatic, come-from-behind victory.
 
The Spartans (6-9-2, 2-4-1 LEC) held a firm lead in shots (15-3), shots on goal (8-1) and corners (6-3) in the contest, but waited until the 89^th and 90^th minutes to get the game-tying and game-winning goals from Charlie Cisneros and Jacob Henderson to earn the 2-1 win.
 
Castleton got out to a strong start in Sunday's match, getting great looks from Ben Stewart and Matt Spiller, but were unable to find paydirt with the Badgers' Patrick Austin making four saves. It appeared as though the sides were headed into the break level at zero, but a penalty kick in the 43^rd minute — their only shot on goal of the game — gave NVU-Johnson (4-10-2, 1-7-1 NAC) a surprising lead at halftime.
 
The Spartans kept the pressure on, getting six more shots off in the first 40 of the half, but only two found their way on net and both were handled by Austin. Finally, with 1:35 left on the clock, Cisneros was able to corral a rebound after a long throw from Lucas McCane got into the box and sent it into the back of the net with his left foot to tie the game at one.
 
After scoring the tying goal, Castleton was hungry for the win, and drew a corner with the clock winding down on a blocked shot from Adolphe Alfani. Hurrying to get the ball in, Toby Ritzkowski lined up the corner and sent a ball toward the near post where Henderson leapt and send a beautiful header into the far corner of the goal with just five seconds remaining to hand the Spartans to 2-1 win in improbable fashion.
 
Next up for Castleton is their regular-season finale against UMass Boston Saturday, October 29 with kickoff set for 1 p.m.
