BALTIMORE -- Corey Maret, who didn't enter the game until 28 minutes remained in regulation, drilled an 18-yard shot past Loyola College's diving goalkeeper 2:11 into sudden-death overtime tonight to lift UNCG to a 2-1 upset over the Greyhounds in the second round of the NCAA soccer tournament.

With the win, UNCG becomes the first team in the tournament's 50-year history to win two games after entering the draw with a losing record on the season. The Spartans (10-10-1) advance to the round of 16, in which they will face the winner of tonight's game between Harvard and South Florida. The NCAA is expected to announce the site of the third-round game on Wednesday.
