(Carlisle,
Pa.) - The Dickinson College men's soccer team battled for 110
minutes, through double overtime to tie visiting Gettysburg, 2-2,
in Centennial Conference play Saturday afternoon. Both the Red
Devils and the Bullets have conference records of 3-2-2 while
Dickinson moves 9-3-3 overall and Gettysburg stands at 4-8-2 on the
season.
Both teams
were looking for a big win, as they are neck and neck in the
conference standings. First-year Javier Mena
(San Salvador, El Salvador/American School) struck first
for the Devils. The goal came at 13:25 as Mena hit a half-volley
into the net off of a cross from senior Thomas
Parkinson (Alamo, Calif./Westfield, N.J.).
Gettysburg
answered almost immediately, just 24 seconds later, as Teddy
McCarthy scored an unassisted goal to tie the game. Eric
Hynes scored on a cross from a free-kick by Teddy Smith to give the
Bullets a 2-1 edge in the 20th minute.
Defense
dominated the rest of the first half, and well in to the second.
The Devils found the equalizer on a penalty kick with less than
seven minutes remaining in regulation. Mena went for a header and
was knocked to the ground as Bullet goalkeeper Connor Darrell came
out to clear a high ball played into the penalty area. The Devils
had a PK saved earlier in the game, but senior Dale Rodman
(Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman) stepped in and calmly
converted the kick, sending the game into overtime.
Two
overtime periods ensued, though neither team was able to find the
net in those 20 minutes.
Sophomore
goalkeeper Cody Hickok
(Redding, Conn./Joel Barlow) was solid yet again for the
Devils, saving three goals on the day.
Dickinson
travels to Westminster, Maryland to face McDaniel College on
Tuesday at 3:30 pm.
