Redlands Men's Soccer Ties Cal Lutheran, Continues Fight for SCIAC Postseason Tournament Bid

After 110 minutes of men's soccer action, neither the University of Redlands nor Cal Lutheran University could trump the other, and the two squads wound up knotted in a 1-1 tie on Saturday afternoon in Thousand Oaks.

The Kingsmen struck first 18 minutes into the match when Raul Yepez lobbed a shot over senior goalkeeper Evan Hobson (San Diego, CA).

Entering halftime, Cal Lutheran held an 8-7 edge in shots while Redlands owned a 3-1 advantage in corner kicks.

After both teams took turns firing shots at the opposing net early in the second half, junior midfielder John Brookover (Boise, ID) capitalized on a cross by senior midfielder Will Kelly (Seattle, WA). After leaving Brookover's foot, the ball ricocheted off of a Cal Lutheran defender and sailed into the left-hand side of the goal, giving the Maroon and Gray the equalizing score.

Trying to put the game away, Redlands would shoot eight more shots before the horn sounded at the 90-minute mark.

In the 95th minute, Kelly had the chance to end the match, but his attempt clanged off of the left post.

At the contest's end, Redlands held the upper hand in both shots (29-21) and corner kicks (11-4).

Hobson turned away five scoring attempts in goal for the Bulldogs while Chris Capellini made seven saves protecting the Kingsmen net.

Cal Lutheran (7-9-1, 6-5-1 SCIAC) entertains the University of La Verne on Wednesday at 4 p.m. With the draw, the Kingsmen are tied for fourth in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) standings.

Redlands (8-6-3, 7-3-2 SCIAC) currently sits in a tie for second with Whittier College in the SCIAC standings and looks to challenge the conference's top team, Pomona-Pitzer Colleges, on Wednesday in Redlands. Game time is set for 7 p.m. on Farquhar Field. In their first meeting this year on Oct. 3, the Sagehens scored on a penalty kick in the final minute of regulation to defeat the Bulldogs, 2-1.
