SANTA ANA PUEBLO, N. M. -- The Lindsey Wilson College Blue Raiders continue their reign at the top of NAIA men's soccer after this year's NAIA National Tournament.

Tournament Most Valuable Player Shawn Lee scored a goal with 2:06 remaining in the second overtime to give Lindsey Wilson College a 2-1 win over Auburn University-Montgomery (Ala.) in the championship game of the NAIA Men's Soccer National Tournament Tuesday afternoon in Santa Ana Pueblo, N. M.

The championship is Lindsey Wilson's third in a row and fifth in the past six years (1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000).

Lindsey Wilson (22-4-0) scored first in Tuesday's title match when junior forward Tom Odhiambo headed in his team-high 20th goal of the season on a free kick from teammate Gavin Oldham at the 18:18 mark of the first half.

Neither team scored again until AUM (23-2-0) junior forward Martin Gustavsson headed in his 32nd goal of the year at the 73-minute mark on an assist from midfielder Olafur Brynjolfsson.

There were several near scores throughout the remaining minutes of regulation time and both overtimes before Lee finished the game after a nice pass from Odhiambo.

Lindsey Wilson is now 5-0 in national championship games, all under the guidance of head coach Ray Wells, who is 211-35-15 in 11 seasons with the Blue Raiders.

‟What a great effort by everybody," Wells said. ‟We went up 1-0 and the game was ours to win, but they stuck with their game plan and got the ball to the big guy (Gustavsson), and he did what he's done about 40 times this year -- put it in."

LWC, seeded No. 4 in the tournament, outshot the second-seeded Senators 29-12, including a 10-1 edge in the overtime periods.

"Both teams were fatigued from having to play on back to back days," Wells said. "I felt like, going into the game, we would have a little bit of an edge because we have a deeper bench and more kids we can put in."

For the second straight game, the 6-foot-4, 198-pound Lee contributed a goal on offense and stifling defense from the right back position.

"Shawn is certainly one of the best players in the country," Wells said. "He has a lot of ability, and that really showed in the four games in this tournament."

While Lee earned MVP honors, Oldham was named the tourney's outstanding
defensive player. The freshman sweeper from Manchester, England anchored a defense
that allowed just one goal in the entire tournament.

Lee and Oldham were joined on the all-tournament team by goalkeeper Dean Wortz, and midfielders Andre Cooper and Stephan David.

Lindsey Wilson closed out the season with a 13-game winning streak, outscoring
its opponents 61-3 during that stretch. Tuesday's victory also ties Lindsey Wilson with
West Virginia Wesleyan for the second-most men's soccer national championships in
NAIA history with five. Quincy (Ill.), leads with 11 national titles.
