2009 Second Round: Rhinos avoid another PK shootout with OT winner vs. Cleveland

June 16, 2009 by

Two matches in the US Open Cup this year, and two exciting games for the Rochester Rhinos.

A week after needing penalty kicks to advance past the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Second Division in the First Round, the host Rhinos got the tying goal from Ryan Heins in the 82nd minute and the winner from Kenney Bertz in the 113th to outlast the Cleveland City Stars 2-1 at Marina Auto Stadium.
