With just four minutes remaining in the game, forward Fredrik Skilberg recorded his first goal of the season — edging No. 22 SMU over the Yale Bulldogs, 1-0.
In the 86th minute, Skilberg logged the goal, assisted by Hermann Trophy Watch List member Jelldrik Dallmann and sophomore Bailey Sparks. The Mustangs (5-1) went on to outshoot the Bulldogs 13-9.
This is the sophomore's eighth goal of his collegiate career. Four of his eight goals have been game winners.
SMU improved to 5-0 at Washburne Stadium this season and 13-1-1 at home since the start of last season. This is the best home start for the Mustangs since 2019 when they started 6-0.
Cole Johnson, a senior, started and played the full time in goal. The reigning ACC Goalkeeper of the Week recorded one save against the Bulldogs (1-3) — securing his fourth shutout of the season and third straight.
