GOSHEN, Ind. - A first half lead did not hold up for Grace's men's soccer team in a 1-1 tie at Goshen on Saturday.

The Lancers (7-2-2, 1-0-1 Crossroads League) settled for a draw after two overtimes despite holding a dominant 25-11 advantage in shots.

Grace seemed to have the upper hand in the first half. The Maple Leafs (5-1-1, 0-1-1 CL) were held to just one shot in the first 20 minutes of the contest.

The teams remained scoreless until the final minutes of the first half. Grace began to break down Goshen's defense, including a shot from Breno Oliveira that clanged off the crossbar.

The goal finally came in the 42nd minute. Brayton Taylor's shot was stopped by Goshen's goalkeeper, but Cody Boerema was there to finish off the rebound at the 41:41 mark.

Grace outshot Goshen 11-4 in the first half and 9-4 in the second half. But the Maple Leafs made their shots count by tying the match.

Goshen's Nate Nussbaum converted on a long-range effort in the 69th minute to stun the Lancers and tie the score 1-1.

Goshen only mustered one shot over the final 21:42 of regulation compared to five shots by the Lancers. But the teams were unable to score, sending the match to overtime.

Grace had the better chances in the two overtime periods with three shots on goal; Goshen only had one shot on goal in the two 10-minute sessions.

But neither side managed to find the golden goal winner. Shots on goal from Josiah Osborn, Marcelo Talamas and Colin Cape in the final four minutes were all saved.

Oliveira led all players with six shots, and Damon Binkley and Togo Narusawa each had three shots.

Kurt Hamlin made six saves in 110 minutes of action as Grace's goalkeeper.

"I thought we controlled the first half and then got too defensive-minded in the second. We tried to hold on to a lead by defending, and sometimes that just invites the pressure," said Grace head coach Matt Hotchkin. "Goshen is a good team and well-coached, but we aren't satisfied with the tie. We now set our minds on a strong Bethel team. It's one at a time for us, and tonight we learned a little bit more about our team."

The Lancers are at home for a pair of crucial matches next week. Grace hosts rival Bethel on Wednesday at 7 p.m. followed by Homecoming Saturday on Oct. 6 against Taylor at 2:30 p.m.
