They pulled even early in the second half when Razvan Colici converted another PK in the 58th minute.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1304\" data-start=\"919\">With the score tied and five minutes of stoppage time looming, McGill weathered a furious Concordia push, highlighted by Stingers captain Lundon Durand-Browne&#8217;s 30-yard blast that rookie midfielder\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mcgillathletics.ca\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/eloi-versieux\/14107\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14107\" target=\"_blank\">Eloi Versieux<\/a> blocked. The decisive moment came at the other end when Rosettani, a 6-foot-2 striker from Hamilton, Ont., calmly slotted home his second penalty to secure McGill&#8217;s first win of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1488\" data-start=\"1306\">Goalkeeper <a href=\"https:\/\/mcgillathletics.ca\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/ludovyck-ciociola\/13315\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13315\" target=\"_blank\">Ludovyck Ciociola<\/a>, a physical education senior from Montreal,\u00a0\u00a0went the distance for the Redbirds, allowing two goals in 90 minutes.
