Argos Draw with Saints in Chippy Sunday Match

GREAT FALLS, Mont. – The University of Providence men's soccer team played a chippy, double-overtime game against Carroll Sunday afternoon, with neither side able to pull away. The game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Down 0-1 with seven minutes remaining in the first half, Manu Garcia found the back of the net off a free kick. Santiago Morazzani scored his second goal for the Saints (4-2-1) in the 65th minute to give the Saints a 2-1 lead. Daniel Huseby evened the score in dramatic fashion, finding the back of the net with 1:23 left in the game off the rebound. Both teams had several scoring opportunities in the two overtime periods, but were unable to convert.

 "Carroll is a tough team," interim head coach Daniel Burstein said. "We did not come out to play from the start. That was our biggest issue. We didn't step up to the level necessary to play with them today and it showed. It took us about 65, 70 minutes to finally work hard. When that happened, we were in the game. That was the difference. We just did not come ready to go and it took us too long to get going."

The Argos (3-1-1) did get off to a slow start, attempting only one shot in the first half compared to the Saints 11. Things evened out in the second half with both teams attempting nine. The Argos outshot the Saints in overtime five to two.

Despite the frustrating start, Burstein was pleased at the effort to keep chipping away and find offensive opportunities.

"It's nice that when you're not always at your best you can still find ways to score goals and stay in the game," Burstein said. "That's what the guys did today. They found ways to make it happen when it just wasn't going our way."

The two teams will get another chance at each tomorrow at 3 p.m. Tomorrow's games will also serve as Senior Day for the Argos.

"Game two of the weekend is going to be how can we keep fresh legs on the field," Burstein said. "I don't think we necessarily need to change how we're playing, we just need to make sure that we have enough of an engine to get us through the game. That's going to be the toughest thing."
