Wildcats and Bald Eagles Battle To 1-1 Draw

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. - Daemen University and Lock Haven University battled to a 1-1 draw in non-conference NCAA Division II men's soccer action this afternoon at Williamsville South High School.

Daemen of the East Cast Conference moves to 5-6-3 on the year. Lock Haven, which is a member of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, is now 5-7-4.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Much like this past Saturday against D'Youville when Daemen scored just nine seconds into the game, the Wildcats jumped out to an early lead again today when freshman Cody Cavuoto (Rochester, N.Y.) scored his fourth goal of the year just two minutes into the contest. Senior Derek Bartlo (Williamsville, N.Y.) set up the scoring chance. Bartlo out battled a LHU defender for a 50/50 ball in the right flank and sent the ball to the front of the LHU net where Cavuoto one-timed a shot into the net.
  • The visiting Bald Eagles knotted the game at 1-1 in the 23rd minute when sophomore Samuel Hershey headed home a pass by classmate Duc Do.
  • LHU posted a 9-5 advantage in shots in the first half and the teams entered halftime tied at 1-1.
  • Daemen nearly regained the lead in the 72nd minute when a free kick from 35 yard out by junior Nassim Zahouani (Saint Denis, France) was tipped just over the crossbar and out of play by LHU net minder Brady Freiwald.
  • LHU's best chance at a game-winner came with six minutes to play when Hershey made a nice rush upfield and fired a shot from 20 yards out that was kicked away by Daemen goalkeeper Harry Firth (Reading, England).
  • The Bald Eagles finished with a 16-10 advantage in total shots and an 8-5 edge in shots on goal.
  • Firth, who made just his second start in net this season, equaled his season-high for saves (7). Freiwald turned away four shots for LHU.

GAME NOTES

  • Bartlo has now registered a point in three-straight and six of the last seven games. He has totaled a team-high seven goals and 18 points. His seven goals and 18 points are the most by a Daemen player since Noah Keem put up nine goals and 22 points during the 2017 season.
  • Cavuoto has scored in two-straight games and now ranks second on the team in goals with four.
  • Lock Haven went 13-4-2 last year and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Bald Eagles were picked third in the 2022 PSAC East preseason coaches' poll
  • Today's game marked just the fourth all-time meeting between the Wildcats and the Bald Eagles. LHU owns a 3-0-1 advantage in the all-time series.
  • The Wildcats have limited 10 of their 14 opponents to one goal or less.
