Emory University junior Jake Graetz scored two goals, including the game-winning goal 39 seconds into the second-overtime period, leading the Eagles to a 2-1 win over Case Western Reserve University.

Graetz put the Eagles on the board late in the first half, giving Emory a 1-0 lead in the 39^th minute of play off a corner kick from Christopher Howie, the junior's seventh assist of the season. 

Emory would struggle in the second half, as the Spartans outshot the Eagles 9-0 in the frame.  Included in Case's shot barrage was an unassisted goal from Vinny Bell in the 62^nd minute, knotting the match at a goal apiece.  The game would remain tied throughout the rest of regulation, sending the contest into overtime.

After outshooting Case 2-1 in the first overtime period, it would not be long into the second and final overtime frame before the Eagles would end it.  Just 39 seconds into the second overtime, Graetz headed a deflected corner kick into the net, ending the match with his first-career ‘golden goal.'

Graetz has now scored a team and career-best nine goals this season for Emory, giving the junior a team-high 18 points.  It was the first-career multiple-goal game for Graetz, and his second game-winning goal of the season.

Sophomore Trenton Spindler earned the win in goal, making three saves during the contest, including two in regulation after the game was tied by Case.  Spindler lowered his season goals-against average to 0.84 with the victory.

The Eagles improved to 11-4-1 on the year, and are now in fifth place in the conference with a 2-3-1 UAA record.  Case dropped to 7-8-3 on the season, including 0-5-1 in conference play.

Emory will return home for its final games of the season next weekend, starting on Saturday against Carnegie Mellon University at 11:00 AM.
