Men's Soccer Ties Northwood
One streak ended and another continued for the Bulldogs as they tied regional foe Northwood (Mich.) 1-1 in double overtime at Truman Soccer Park.
The Bulldogs move to 2-2-2 on the year, while the Timberwolves go to 4-1-1.
Truman stopped their scoring drought with their first goal in since Sept. 4th when midfielder Martin Clayes scored unassisted in the first half. The tally gave Truman a 1-0 lead and was Clayes' second goal of the season.
The Bulldogs appeared to have the win in hand with 15 minutes left. Then, a shot inside the box richochted off multiple players and evaded Bulldog goalie Nate Gibson inside the right post. Northwood's Nia Dabovic took the shot and was assisted by Anthony Tuzzolino.
Both teams had several opportunities to score in the two overtimes, but neither could break the stalemate.
