ATLANTA- The Oglethorpe University men's soccer team traveled to Millsaps Friday night and took a 1-1 draw. Nathan Leveque scored the team's lone goal while Sebastain Lewis tallied five saves.
Gustavo Canas kickstarted the offense for the Petrels but missed high. The Majors responded with a shot on goal but it was contained by Lewis. The Petrels were outshot by the Majors in the first half 7-4, but Lewis made two crucial saves to keep it a stalemate.
Three shots spearheaded by Canas, Eli Beard, and Christian Watson opened the second half. After a foul in the penalty box in the 63rd minute, Leveque stepped to the penalty spot and converted the goal for a 1-0 lead. The rest of the match had continued defense from the Petrels and back and forth offense from both teams, but another foul in the penalty box led to Millsaps being given the chance to equalize. Raul Blandon did just that with five and a half minutes left in regulation.
