ASHLAND, VA – Adam Nycz's goal just seven seconds into overtime sent fifth-seeded Virginia Wesleyan past fourth-seeded Randolph-Macon, 10-9, in the quarterfinals of the 2012 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Men's Lacrosse Tournament.

Tyler Midwinter responded eight seconds later on a goal by Jason Andrews, but the Marlins would tie the score at 2-2 on an Ian Shankland tally with just over a minute to play in the half.

Nick Pappas and Puls opened the second-half scoring, giving the Marlins a 4-2 lead with 13:15 to play in the third quarter.

R-MC would close the third period with three unanswered goals getting scores from Tyler Midwinter and Jake Leddy to tie the game and taking the lead when a Tim Rowe man-up strike made it 5-4 with just four minutes to play.
