Men’s Soccer:

Marywood 1 Centenary University 1

The Marywood men’s soccer team battled to a draw with number one ranked Centenary University.

According to marywoodpacers.com, the Cyclones came into the game in first place in the CSAC before the Pacers played temporary spoiler.

Junior defender Nick Dyer sent the ball in from 35 yards deep to senior forward Marc-Daniel Montinard. Montinard headed it into the back of the net to put Marywood up 1-0 at the 17-minute mark.

The second period saw the Cyclones get more aggressive on the offensive end with 14 shots on goal. One of those shots found the net as Centenary’s Luis Marin evened the game in the 62nd minute.

Centenary stuffed the stat sheet by doubling the Pacers in shots on goal 24-12 in addition to a 13-2 advantage in corner kicks, but Marywood held onto the tie.
