CARLISLE, Pa. - Despite holding a 27-2 advantage in shots the eighth-ranked Dickinson men's soccer team was not able to separate from the visiting McDaniel College Green Terror as the two sides played to a 1-1 Centennial Conference draw at Miller Memorial Field. Prior to opening kick the Red and White honored their senior class as they played their final regular season home match in a Red Devil kit.
First Half
- The opening 15 minutes saw the home side on the attack as Nicholas Dwamena, Luke Finkielstein and Timi Omoniwa combine for five shots tasking keeper Tate Roth into making two stops.
- In the 30th, the Devils were back at it, but chances for Saul Iwowo and Dwamena did not bother Roth.
- Dickinson added two more shots prior to the break, unfortunately the offerings from Westin Fryberger and Jeremy Sallade missed the mark and the match went to the break.
- The Devils defense put on a clinic during the period not allowing a shot to the visitors, while recording ten as a team.
Second Half
- Roth was busy early as he shutdown both Ethan Jarden and Omoniwa within the first three minutes.
- It would take until the 61st minute for the hosts to get another really good look, but the attempt from Jarden clanged off the crossbar.
- A minute later McDaniel notched their first shot of the match when Conor Najera sailed one over the top of the net patrolled by Nick Potter.
- Over the ensuing eight minutes the Devils got offerings from Sachil Kenkre, Iwowo, Omoniwa and Sallade, unfortunately, none of them called Roth into action.
- In the 73rd minute, the match would take a turn as Iwowo attempted to chase a ball down at the top of the box, however, Roth had the same idea and as he charged out to collect the ball he would run through Iwowo resulting in a red card for the keeper.
- With a man advantage Dickinson would grab a 1-0 lead four minutes later when a cross from the left-wing by Sallade deflected off a McDaniel defender into the net past new goalie Joseph Peloquin.
- The Devils advantage lasted just over two minutes as a corner from Noah Rodriguez with 80 minutes on the clock landed at the foot of Joseph Arthur who sent the ball past Potter making it 1-1.
- Dickinson racked up five shots over the rest of the match thanks to Austin Holloway, Finkielstein, Fryberger, Jarden and Sallade, but none of them found the back of the net resulting in the draw.
