North Stonington — The Wheeler High School boys' soccer team advanced to the CIAC Class S second round with a dramatic win on Monday.

The 12th-seeded Lions survived their first-round game against No. 21 Coventry, winning on penalty kicks, 4-3. The game was deadlocked at 3-3 at the end of the second overtime.

Matt Pierce, Ian Spracklin, Scott Pion and Lukas Jones each converted a penalty kick for the Lions, who visit defending champion Old Saybrook, the fifth seed, at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

"We practiced penalty kicks," Wheeler coach Joe Mendonca said. "That's not the way I planned it. But it is what it is. ... It's a good win."

The Lions took a 2-0 lead at halftime on Pierce's two goals before Coventry rallied to tie the score and force overtime.

Spracklin's goal put Wheeler on top in the first overtime, but Coventry answered with the equalizer once again.
