MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Christian Brothers University men's soccer team (2-3-2, 0-1-2 GSC) earned a 1-1 draw against Delta State (2-2-4, 1-1-2 GSC) on Friday night at Signaigo Field. The Buccaneers went ahead early with a penalty kick goal and held on until the 88th minute when the Statesman found the equalizer.

OF NOTE

Graduate student Harry Laing (Gillingham, UK) scored his third goal of the season and is now the Bucs' leading goal scorer.
Christian Brothers went ahead of Alabama Huntsville and Union in the league table with the point earned from the draw.

HOW IT HAPPENED

CBU drew a penalty kick in the 13th minute from Delta State's Micah Soper's unruly tackle inside the 18-yard box. Laing stepped up to take the PK and slotted the shot into the bottom left corner of the goal, 1-0. The opposing keeper dived in the opposite direction.
The Bucs faced five shots from Delta State in the first half, but none of them came close to finding their target.
The intensity of the match turned up in the second half with seven cautions being issued in total. Four were issued to CBU while three were shown to the Statesmen.
Shots flew back-and-forth from both sides in the final 45 minutes. Christian Brothers took six shots, four of which required a save to be made. Meanwhile, Delta State took nine shots in the second half, only two of which were on target.
In the 88th minute, the Statesmen were awarded a free kick just outside of the penalty area. Delta State's Santi Rossi was able to curl a low shot around the wall of defenders and into the left side of the netting to level the score, 1-1.
