Peter Silvester helped his Connecticut College Men's Soccer teammates capture the 2021 NCAA Division III Men's Soccer National Championship at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.
Senior captain Lorenzo Bocchetti converted a deciding penalty kick after freshman Silvester stopped two penalty shots.
After playing Amherst to a 1 - 1 tie through regulation and two overtimes, Connecticut College converted all four of their penalty kicks and only conceded one to win the first-ever NCAA Tournament team title for Connecticut College Athletics.
Silvester, who came in cold after junior Sam Maidenberg played the entire 110 minutes between the posts, stopped the first two penalty kicks he faced to set up Bocchetti's final heroics to seal the championship for Connecticut College.
