The first came during the scenario of the red card, leveling the score 1-1 heading into halftime, while the second occurred during the 94th-minute in the first overtime period that sealed the 2-1 victory for the Golden Bears via golden goal.

The loss put Bryan at 0-1 to begin the season, and WVU Tech was able to improve to 2-0.
