On Senior Day 2009, it was a freshman the played hero. First-year player Brent Helton scored the game-winning goal to lift IPFW to a 3-2 Summit League men's soccer victory over UMKC at the Hefner Soccer Complex.

In the game's 105th minute Helton fired a shot from 25 yards out that closed the game and the season for the Mastodons.

The win gives the 'Dons a 6-11-2 final record, the best finish thus far under coach Mike Harper's guidance.

The 'Roos were the first to strike. David Sarabia got a head on a cross from teammate Sean Butler in the 30th minute to give his squad the early advantage.

Trailing 1-0, senior Ben Haifley converted on a PK four minutes later to even the scoreboard at 1-1. The goal is Haifley's first of the season and second of his IPFW career.

Another four minutes later, UMKC's Bryan Perez scored the third goal of the period as he broke out and beat the IPFW keeper one-on-one to give the 'Roos a 2-1 advantage to close out the first half.

Just 45 seconds into the second half, Mitch Falkenstern and converted on the one-on-one opportunity. Touloute's six goals is the tops on the team and surpasses his team-best season total from the 2008 campaign.

But after this flurry of scoring, with four goals in 15 minutes of action, both offenses skidded to a stand-still. Very few scoring opportunities came until the second overtime.
Four and a half minutes into the second period of bonus soccer, Helton gathered an attempted clear outside the box and fired a line-drive laser past the UMKC keeper for the golden goal, giving the 'Dons a 3-2 victory to close out the 2009 season.

Touloute took seven shots to lead the IPFW offense while keeper Donovan Dowling posted two saves in the win.
