Box Score BIDDEFORD, Maine - The Husson Eagles men's soccer team closed out their non-conference schedule with a 1–1 draw at Hazard Field on the campus of the University of New England. Eagles are now 7-2-3 on the season while UNE is 1-9-1.
There was no score in the first half despite the Eagles controlling the play and holding the Nor'easters to zero shots.
In the second half it was the host that found the opening goal. In the 70th minute, a slip in the back allowed Alex Woodworth to score.
Less than a minute later the Eagles would score the equalizer. Off the kickoff the Eagles went down the field and earned themselves a corner. The set piece delievery was out-swinging corner by Fred Longo and found the free header by Ben Shumway.
Eagles continued to dominate the pace of play but after 110 minutes; the game ended 1-1.
Head Coach Gavin Penny shares his frustration after the match, "It was a very frustrating evening to say the least. We were not at our best tonight even though we had the ball in our possession almost the entire game. It's tough to break teams down when they sit so deep like they have done tonight but we need to be better at doing so. It's another night where we feel 2 points were lost rather than 1 gained. We had so many chances to score and one mistake has cost us the game. I'm hoping the lads can learn from this game and move on to correct it on Saturday."
Up next is visits from the North Atlantic Conference western division as SUNY Canton and NVU-Johnson come to Boucher Field. Kickoff with the Roos is set for 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 9th. The match with the Badgers is on the next day.
