Men's Soccer Settles For 1-1 Draw at Waynesburg

WAYNESBURG, Pa. -- The Allegheny College men's soccer team earned another point in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) standings with a 1-1 draw on the road against Waynesburg University on Wednesday.

It marks the second tie on the Allegheny (1-8-3, 0-1-2 PAC) ledger since the start of conference play. On the other hand, Waynesburg (6-2-1, 2-0-1 PAC) saw its four-game win streak, which included two PAC victories, come to an end.

The Gators possessed the ball well against the Yellow Jackets and put together a continuous offensive attack. Although Allegheny scored first in the 35th minute, the Blue and Gold couldn't catch lightning in a bottle a second time throughout the remainder of the contest.

The first-half marker came off the right foot of Brady Napoleon (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon) on an impressive bicycle kick from 13 yards out. The quick transition play began with two long through balls from Jose Cifuentes (Guatemala City, Guatemala/The Kiski School (Pa.)) and Cliff Weaver (Silver Spring, Md./Albert Einstein). Weaver then found Nick Magee (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) racing wide open down the right side of the field, and Magee's cross was perfectly placed in the center of the field for Napoleon to launch into the net.
 
Waynesburg evened the score in the 71st minute. First-year keeper Cadan Bennett (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland), who was otherwise flawless throughout the match, got his gloves on a low shot from Michael Kanu, but the ball slipped five-hole and trickled across the goal line.

Inside the Box Score
  • Allegheny finished with a 17-to-8 advantage in shots.
  • The Gators also held a significant lead in shots on goal, 10-to-2.
  • Waynesburg earned more corner kicks, 5-to-3.
  • Napoleon, who moved from the back line to play center forward, led all Gators with six shots and four on goal.
  • Napoleon netted Allegheny's lone goal in the 35th minute off an assist from Magee.
  • Weaver, Will Gruca (Baden, Pa./Ambridge), and Darius Googe (East Hartford, Conn./East Hartford) each had multiple shots on goal.
  • Kanu scored the equalizer for Waynesburg in the 71st minute.

  • The draw is the first in the all-time series between Allegheny and Waynesburg.
  • The Gators lead the series, which began in 1993, 4-1-1.
  • Napoleon's goal was his team-leading fourth of the season and 18th of his career.
