Thursday's Best: Hanover completes late comeback


The Hanover boys' soccer team recovered from a two-goal deficit to come back and defeat Delone Catholic, 5-4 in double overtime.

The Nighthawks (4-4, 3-3 YAIAA Division III) were trailing for most of the game and were in danger of falling behind the Squires (2-4, 2-4) in the divisional standings. After Hanover mounted a rapid comeback late in the second half, Diego Aguilar found the back of the net on a penalty kick to tie the game at four goals apiece.

Aguilar wasn't done, either, as he would later score the game-winning goal in double overtime to secure a hat trick and more importantly, a victory for Hanover.
