On Friday night, the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels trailed Centre College by a goal late in their Southern Athletic Association opener.

Thatâs an astounding combination of timing, athleticism, and clutch scoring from Patterson, who managed to tie the match with mere minutes to go with his strike.

Neither team managed to pull out the win after two periods of extra time, which means Pattersonâs incredible goal was ultimately worth just one point in the standings.
Of course, thatâs before you factor in Pattersonâs style points.
