MEN'S SOCCER AND NIAGARA BATTLE TO 1-1 DRAW

Syracuse, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College men's soccer team remained unbeaten at home on Saturday, recording a 1-1 draw against Niagara University at Ted Grant Field.

The Dolphins took a 1-0 lead against the Purple Eagles in the 51st minute when redshirt-sophomore midfielder Jackson Card (McGraw, N.Y./McGraw) scored his first career goal with an assist from graduate forward Noah Sperduto (Elmira, N.Y./Elmira).

Niagara sophomore midfielder Thomas Brooks put away his first goal of the season for the Purple Eagles in the 86th minute to tie the match at 1-1.

Le Moyne tallied season-highs in shots (14) and shots on goal (9) during the match, while Niagara recorded 14 shots with four on target.

Le Moyne (3-1-3) has now recorded two wins and three draws in its last five matches, with the team's lone defeat of the season occurring on August 25. The Dolphins moved to 2-0-2 so far this season at Ted Grant Field.

Redshirt-freshman midfielder Diego Martinez (Veracruz, Mexico/Gulf Coast (Fla.)) made his first career start during the match.

Goalkeeper Wyatt Dupell (Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse), defenders Jack Goodrich (Kelsall, England/King's School Chester), Maximilian Huss (Karben, Germany/Elly-Heuss-Schule), Victor Boje Henriksen (Greve, Denmark/Greve Gymnasium/Saint Rose), midfielder Ziad Abdul-Malak (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) and forward Justin Pham (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool/Dayton) each played the full 90 minutes for the Dolphins.

Pham and Card each recorded a team-high two shots on goal for Le Moyne, while forward Felix Kogler registered two shots on goal for Niagara.

Sperduto has recorded an assist in each of Le Moyne's last two games, as the Elmira native provided the assist on Abdul-Malak's goal during Le Moyne's 1-1 draw at St. Bonaventure on Wednesday.
