Box Score CLEVELAND, Tenn.–Junior forward Jose Ferraz (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) scored two goals, including one with less than a minute remaining in the second overtime, to lift the Christian Brothers University Bucs to a 2-1 win at Lee Friday night.

The Flames (1-2-1, 0-1-1 GSC) opened the game's scoring in the 54th minute as Arturo Rocha found the net on a free kick from 35 yards out. Ferraz equalized in the 78th minute, touching the ball past the Lee goalkeeper off a Samuel Wilson (Memphis, Tenn./Christian Brothers HS) throughball.

The game remained level through the end of regulation and the first overtime.

Ferraz moved into first place in the GSC in scoring with five goals on the season.
