Men's Soccer ties Brockport 1-1

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The RIT men's soccer team tied Brockport 1-1 in the season-opener Thursday evening in the first game on the newly renovated Doug May Field. Sophomore David Merriman scored for the Tigers in the 77th minute, and Brockport's Russ Domm tied the game in the 90th minute.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Merriman gave RIT the lead on a header into the bottom-right-corner off an assist from senior Randy Dickersbach.
  • RIT had a chance when first year defender Krzysztof Antiporowicz sent a pass to sophomore forward Jaden Winall Longdon who fired a shot over the cross-bar.
  • Trapp made two huge saves on Domm in the 70th minute when he got free inside the RIT penalty box. Trapp made the initial save, got back to his feet and turned aside Domm's second shot, while a third shot from Matthew Stefaniw was blocked by a RIT defender.
  • Domm tied the game in the dying seconds of regulation on his blast from 18-yards out into the lower right corner.
