Knights Men's Soccer Draws With the Golden Lions; QC's Second Tie in 2013 ECC Play

Box Score

Flushing, N.Y. -  The Knights men's soccer team battled with the Dowling Golden Lions for an extra 20 minutes on Saturday afternoon, only to remain scoreless after 110 minutes.  The tie with Dowling was the second for Queens (9-3-3; 4-2-2 in ECC) and third for Dowling (9-3-3; 4-2-3 in ECC).

While battling windy conditions the majority of the afternoon, QC managed three quality shots on goal against Chris Friedl. In the first half, Pol Narbona headed a ball that was turned aside by Friedl. The second half saw senior Peter Touros record a shot on goal in the 70th minute. In the 105th minute (2nd overtime) Glen Reid had the Knights third shot on goal defended by Friedl.

Defensively, the Knights were able to withstand Dowling's pressure throughout the match.  That, coupled with a major shot off the post in the latter stages of the match helped preserve a tie for the Knights. In goal, Sean Geoghegan countered his counterpart with a three-save game. In the first overtime, seconds apart from each other, Geoghegan made back-to-back saves against Dowling.

The Knights continue this pivotal stretch of East Coast Conference matches with a contest against the University of Bridgeport Purple Knights on Tuesday, October 29th at 3:30 PM on the campus of Queens College.
