ROCHESTER, Mich. - In what looked like a game headed into overtime, DePaul managed to find a way to take down the Oakland Golden Grizzlies 1-0 on Tuesday evening at the Oakland Soccer Park. The Blue Demons improve to 4-3-1 on the season.

Oakland (4-3-1) heavily outshot DePaul, 21-6, but only forced DePaul goalkeeper Drew Nuelle to make four saves, earning his fourth shutout this season.

The lone goal of the match came in the 87th minute when DePaul earned their fifth corner of the game. Zach El-Shafei placed the ball perfectly in line for Youssef Ramadan to head the ball straight into the back corner of the goal.
