ORANGEBURG, N.Y. - Parker Smith (Dover, Del./Caesar Rodney) equalized with 16 seconds remaining in regulation, and Noah Simpson (Oshawa, Ontario/Henry Street) scored the game-winner 16 seconds into overtime, as the HFU Men's Lacrosse Team prevailed via golden goal in a second straight match with a 14-13 triumph at Dominican on Wednesday.
