DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team returned home to place Barry at the ERAU Soccer Stadium on Saturday night.
 
After a goal-filled first half, neither side was able to find the back of the net in the second period or overtime. The Eagles (2-4-1) were able to earn a point after tying the Buccaneers (6-2-1), who were receiving votes in the NCAA DII Top 25 Poll, 2-2.
 
The first half was filled with action. Barry struck first as Aday Gonzalez's cross set up Lucas Russo to give Barry a quick 1-0 lead. It did not take long for the Eagles to respond. Just minutes later, Teddy West found space in the ERAU attacking third of the pitch. His strike on the ball was perfectly placed to beat the keeper and find the bottom left corner of the net to tie the match.
 
Barry was quick to regain its lead. Flavio Colasanti dribbled to his left to beat the Eagle defender. His shot from outside the box had plenty of strength and curled inside the post to give Barry a 2-1 lead just 17 minutes into the game.
 
Both teams were fairly even in the first half. Barry slightly outshot ERAU 10-7 in the first half. With time winding down, the Eagles tried to swing the momentum back to their side.
 
ERAU was awarded with a corner kick with 8 minutes remaining in the period. Pierre Hertin lined up to take the kick. His cross into the box found the head of Tim-Frederik Lange to tie the game at 2. The match would remain tied going into halftime.
 
Barry would ramp up the offensive pressure in the second half. The Buccaneers would attempt 14 shots in the second half alone. The Eagle defense refused to back down. Mourad Falahen nearly gave the Blue and Gold the lead midway through the period. His shot had plenty of strength, but the keeper was able to make a diving save to keep the game tied.
 
The intensity increased with regulation coming to an end with both teams looking to score the game-winning goal. With one minute remaining in the match, Russo nearly put the game away. His shot beat the keeper, but it ricocheted off the post and was cleared away.
 
In extra time, the Buccaneers continued to dominate possession. Barry totaled seven shots in extra time, but to no avail. The Eagles had one chance to score the golden goal. Collins Maude started the first overtime and made an immediate impact. He nearly gave ERAU the victory just a minute into play, but his shot went wide.
 
Gonzalez had a chance to end the match in the second overtime period. He received a pass in the box with plenty of space. He turned to shoot, but his shot was saved by Gudmundur Sigurbjornsson. Neither side would be able to score the golden goal, ending the match with a 2-2 tie.
 
Both sides displayed physical play, totaling 37 fouls in the match. Falahen led the Eagles with three shots. Alex O'Brien and Olav Olsen Aamlid were not far behind with two shots each. Sigurbjornsson totaled seven saves in goal.
 
ERAU will play again on Wednesday against Florida Tech. The match in Melbourne, Fla. will kickoff at 7 p.m.
