Men's Soccer Rallies for Draw on Senior Day

Box Score

The Keuka College men's soccer team rallied from a one-goal deficit to tie first-place SUNYIT 1-1 Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at the Jephson Community Athletic Complex.

With the regular season finished, Keuka (8-4-2, 5-3-2) clinched the fourth seed in the North Eastern Athletic Conference postseason tournament, which features the top five teams in the standings and runs Nov. 1-6.

The Storm will host fifth-seeded Lancaster Bible College (5-3-2) in a quarterfinal game at 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

SUNYIT (7-5-4, 7-0-3), the first-place squad in the NEAC, jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute. Francis Leighton received a cross from Regan Seydler and converted past junior goalie Derek Condon (Webster, NY/Webster Thomas) 27 minutes and 45 seconds into the contest.

Facing a quick, physical SUNYIT team, the Storm kept up the offensive pressure, and it finally paid off with the equalizer goal in the 76th minute. Freshman Austin Gerber (Rochester, NY/Churchville-Chili) played a ball into sophomore Frank Iacovangelo (Rochester, NY/Aquinas) 15 yards out. Iacovangelo made a touch and slid his shot into the lower-left portion of the goal to knot the score with 14:06 remaining in regulation. It was Iacovangelo's third goal in Keuka's last five games.

Though both teams threatened to score in the end of regulation, the game went into overtime. Condon made a big save in the first overtime period to keep the game tied, and finished with nine saves as the Storm improved to 3-1-2 in its last six games.
