SCORING SUMMARY
HOW IT HAPPENED
Lipscomb was aggressive out of the gate, controlling much of the opening minutes. The Bisons got off the first shot of the match in the 11' minute when
Javanne Smith put a ball on frame that forced an early save by Stetson.
Another good look came in the 16' minute when
Bubu Medina put a hard shot on frame that forced another Hatters save.
The Bisons' defense held Stetson at bay through the first 45' minutes, holding the Hatters to just one shot that was easily saved by
Noah Kump.
Even though Lipscomb had the better chances, the match remained scoreless through the first frame.
The Bisons picked up in the second half by putting pressure on the Hatters with multiple shots in the first minutes of the second frame. In the 54' minute,
Levi Jones broke through behind the back line and rocketed a shot that was blocked out for a corner kick. On the resulting set piece,
Matteo Colombo put a shot in that banged off the post.
Against the run of play, Stetson scored in the 71' minute for a 1-0 lead.
Lipscomb continued to pepper the goal, but was unable to break through. With the seconds winding off the clock, Lipscomb earned a corner kick with 15 seconds to go. Colombo connected with
Tyler Stinnett on the wing for a short corner. Stinnett put the ball in the box and
Dan Karsten rose with a bicycle kick and put the ball in the back of the net to tie the match 1-1.
Lipscomb was able to defend the final seconds and saw out a 1-1 draw for an extremely important result.
