Officially, the record book will show that Berry and Birmingham-Southern played to a draw on Nov. 6, 2022, in Memphis, Tenn. However, and unfortunately for Berry, in the final game of the Southern Athletic Association Men's Soccer Championship, someone had to be declared as the champion to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.

A goal in the 92nd minute by Tracy Moon gave Berry a 1-0 lead, but a goal by BSC in the final 21 seconds of the second overtime tied the score, and the Panthers would win in penalty kicks, 3-1, to claim the SAA tournament crown.

After a scoreless 90 minutes, Berry went to overtime for the first time in 2022. A minute into the first overtime period, Nathan Carlson stepped forward to intercept a BSC pass in the Berry offensive end. Carlson started down the left wing before passing off to Jacob Antoine. Antoine entered the box, drawing the keeper towards him, before passing off to Tracy Moon. Moon wouldn't miss his shot, dribbling it past the BSC keeper into the center of the net to put the Vikings ahead 1-0.

BSC would go down a man late in the second overtime period, but the Panthers would find a way to net a goal as a chipped shot from 14 yards out found the back of the net to tie the score, 1-1.

As the game entered the penalty kicks phase, Berry held the advantage after round one as Jose Palacios made a save to his left on BSC's first try and Carlson found the back of the net with his attempt. From there, BSC would score on three attemps, with Berry kept out on its next three tries, ending the shootout after BSC's fifth-round goal.

Palacios and Moon would each be named to the SAA All-Tournament Team.

The Vikings end the year with a record of 9-2-6.
