Thomas Mock scored the game-winning goal with 2:23 remaining in overtime to give Southwestern its first-ever victory as an NCAA-sanctioned program, 9-8 over Hendrix in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon in Georgetown, Tex.

Mock’s third goal of the day capped a thrilling game in which only one team briefly led by more than a goal.

Jamie Long registered a game-high four points on three goals and one assist, and Edward Williams scored three goals for the Pirates (1-8, 1-0 SCAC), who made history in their first-ever conference game.

Defensively, goalie Donnie Murray saved 21 shots.

In defeat, Tim Wojcik had three points on two goals and an assist for Hendrix (0-8, 0-1), which has never won a game. Since fielding its first team in 2007, Hendrix is 0-31.

In the cage, goalie Keith Clemens made 15 saves.

The game was tied, 1-1, at the end of the first quarter, 3-3, at halftime and Southwestern led 6-4 at the end of the third quarter.

Hendrix opened the fourth quarter with back-to-back goals to draw level, and the teams then traded goals right down to the finish.

Southwestern led, 8-7, late in regulation, but Wojcik forced overtime when he scored with 1:08 to play.
