Aiden Kirkbride's two goals helped give the fifth-ranked Charlotte 49ers an unlikely 2-1 men's soccer victory in double overtime against Denver on Saturday at Transamerica Field.
Kirkbride's header with 6:51 left in the second overtime capped a frantic comeback by Charlotte (1-0). Kirkbride's other goal came with four seconds remaining in regulation, sending the game into overtime.
Denver (0-1) had taken the lead 1-0 on a goal by Josh Wren in the 32nd minute.
The 49ers outshot Denver 24-3 and had 13 corner kicks to the Pioneers' 1.
Charlotte plays again on Monday against Coastal Carolina at Transamerica Field.
