Warriors comeback to tie Geneva, 2-2

Box Score WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The second penalty kick goal of the year by freshman Bill Kerr (Bowie, Md./DeMatha Catholic)  capped a three-goal flurry in the final 10 minutes of regulation and helped the Lycoming College men's soccer team comeback to tie Geneva College, 2-2, in non-conference action at a rain-soaked Shangraw Athletic Complex on Saturday, Sept. 21.
 
Kerr's goal, with 71 seconds left in regulation, helped the Warriors (4-2-1 overall) extend their stretch without a loss to five games (4-0-1), the longest stretch since the2007 squad had a six-match winning streak.
 
The goal, after Lycoming drew a foul in the goal box, also helped Lycoming comeback after Geneva (3-2-2 overall) scored a pair of goals in a span of four minutes. Jeremy Troutman got the Golden Tornadoes on the board in the 81st minute and Garrett Masters helped them take the lead just four minutes later.
 
However, the Warriors continued to pressure, drawing fouls deep in Geneva's territory before Lycoming got the penalty kick from Kerr.
 
In overtime, the Warriors had the best chance to win it in the second overtime, as freshman Jason Coles (Logan Township, N.J./Kingsway Regional) broke down the right sideline and crossed over to his right, but his shot flew into the chest of Geneva keeper Bryan Butler.
 
Lycoming got on the board in the 42nd minute, as sophomore Nick Neverman (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) fired a corner kick to senior Connor McNiff (Marietta, Pa./Donegal), who connected and sent it into the right corner.
 
Lycoming held a 16-8 advantage in shots, but Geneva held a 6-4 advantage in corner kicks, as the game was evenly-matched throughout.
 
Butler finished with six saves for the Tornadoes and junior Connor Keenan (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) finished with three for the Warriors.
 
Lycoming gets back on the field on Tuesday, Sept. 24, when they head to Keystone for a 3:30 p.m. match.
