What a week it was for the freshman Gibbons, starring in a featured role, as he netted a goal in the semifinals and finals of the Great Midwest Tournament.
Gibbons was instrumental in both final four rounds in Dayton, Ohio, last week at Roger Glass Stadium. The freshman drilled the first goal in semifinals against the tournaey top seed and nationally ranked Lake Erie at the 62-minute mark.
Gibbons played all 105 minutes of the double overtime thriller against the Storm, a memorable finish that saw Leo Hasenstab score the game-winning goal for the Dragons.
In the championship finale, Gibbons was big time again. In a game that did not see a lot of shots on target for either team, Gibbons found a way to put one of his two shots into the back of the net.
Gibbons goal came at the 20 minute mark in the first half and was the game-winning goal for the Dragons over Cedarville. His right footed shot crept into the bottom left corner of the net.
The Dragons enter the Super Region 3 section of the NCAA bracket as the six seed and will travel to No. 3 seed Maryville on Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET start time.
