Methodist, Me.-Presque Isle Battle to a 1-1 Draw

MANCHESTER, N.H.  For the second time this Labor Day weekend, Methodist men's soccer played another match in Penman Stadium, on the campus of Southern New Hampshire University. This time it was a Sunday morning contest against University of Maine, Presque Isle. In the first-ever game between these two institutions, it ended in a 1-1 draw.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The first 45 minutes of the contest saw neither team score a goal. Methodist had plenty of opportunities to get on the board first, the Monarchs took 16 shots (six on net) but could not find the back of the net.
  • It would take eight minutes into the second half, but Charlie Teachey was able to score the first goal of the game in the 53rd minute. Teachey was able to take control of the ball from about 25 yards out before turning and sent a long shot into the upper left corner of the net.
  • The Owls responded back with the equalizer in the 68th minute of the match. Brady Holmes passed the ball off to his teammate Remar Shirley, where Shirley was able to punch it in the lower left side of Methodist's keeper.
  • After that it would stay 1-1 until all 90 minutes were completed. There was no overtime due to a new National Collegiate Athletic Association rule that eliminated overtime during the regular season. There will be overtime in all post-season competitions, which includes conference and NCAA tournaments matches.
NUMBERS
  • The Monarchs looked to be the superior in terms of offense and possession. They took a total of 24 shot, eight on target, and attempted 11 corner kicks in the contest. UMPI had nine shot with three on net and three corner attempts.
  • Freshman Matthew Walker made his first collegiate start in today's competition.
