CHICAGO – No. 10 University of Chicago men's soccer continued their long homestand this evening when they welcomed Carthage to Stagg Field. Each team got their offense going with early goals, but it was both the Maroon and Firebird defenses that took over the rest of the way in a 1-1 tie.
RESULT
Carthage – 1
No. 10 UChicago – 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- No. 10 University of Chicago (6-1-3) didn't waste any time getting on the board in this evening's contest and scored in the 6th minute when Ryan Yetishefsky set up Robbie Pino to make it 1-0 Maroons.
- Unfortunately, what was UChicago's first goal also served as their last of the evening. Meanwhile, Carthage (7-2-2) evened things up just over seven minutes later and outshot the home squad 7-2 in the opening frame.
- The stalemate continued into the second half with each team getting some quality chances. UChicago keeper Will Boyes came up big in saving a penalty kick at 64:07 while the offense pushed to try and make something happen in the closing minutes. However, the Maroons ended up having to settle for their second 1-1 tie in three games at the end of 90 minutes.
