@ERAUMSoccer, Flagler Play to 1-1 Draw

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle and Flagler men's soccer teams had a goal in the first and second halves, respectively, but neither side could add to its tally in an additional 20 minutes of play, resulting in 1-1 tie on Wednesday. Playing their final non-conference game of the year, the Eagles moved their record to 1-7-2, while the Saints stand at 3-8-1.
 
Flagler had much of the possession to start the contest. However, the tide quickly turned in the Eagles' favor and in the 12th minute, Christian Mather threatened the Saints' defense with a shot through traffic following a corner kick, but his effort was thwarted by a last-second save by a Flagler defender.
 
The Eagles continued to pressure the Flagler defense and the Saints, who were penalized 22 times in the match, resorted to fouling the Eagles in an attempt to slow the home team down.
 
The Blue and Gold finally broke through in the 20th minute when Tim-Frederik Lange netted his second goal of the season. The play began in the back where Nelson Andres Pusquin played a long ball up to Alex O'Brien running down the left side. O'Brien's cross found Lange in the center of the 18-yard box and the sophomore hit a half volley into the lower right corner to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
 
Mather had another good look late in the half, but his shot whistled just high of the cross bar and the Eagles went into the break holding on to the one-goal lead.
 
While the Eagles held a 7-4 shot advantage in the second half, it was the Saints who recorded the only goal of the frame. The equalizer came off the boot of Oscar Davidson in the 78th minute and after the Saints took two more shots that missed the mark, regulation ended with the score knotted at 1-1, sending the game to overtime.
 
Neither team was able to mount a significant threat in 20 minutes of extra time as five of the six shots taken sailed high or wide of the mark, ending the game in a draw.
 
The Eagles' Richard Dearle and his Flagler counterpart Mel Broughton went the distance for their respective teams, with Dearle collecting two saves and Broughton making one stop.
 
The Eagles will play their final home match of the season on Saturday when they host Sunshine State Conference foe Rollins in a 7 p.m. fixture at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.
