#5 Laker Men's Soccer Settles for a 1-1 Draw on Saturday Evening

Aaron Overmars rings the cash register | George Roke makes seven saves

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- #5 Clayton State University men's soccer team concluded its tour of Florida playing Barry University on Saturday evening. The match ended in a 1-1 draw with both goals coming in the second half.  
 
The first 45 minutes resulted in both teams not finding the back of the net and the score stood at 0-0.  The Bucanners took control of the match in most of the half and marked seven shots and took eight corners.  However, the Lakers picked it up offensively towards the end and saw Jussi Gerberding, Gonzalo LaChica, and Manoel Neto fire in shots. 
 
In the final three minutes of the half, the Lakers found themselves down a man as the referee drew a red card putting the Buccaneers up a man going into the halftime break. In net, Georgia Roke made four saves on seven shots faced.   
 
Halftime: #5 Clayton State 0, Barry 0
 
That red card proved to be the difference maker in the early stages of the second half as Barry knocked in the match's first goal in the 58th minute and led 1-0.  The Lakers then answered back.  In the 68th minute and after a Barry yellow card, Camilo Velez sent in a free kick and LaChica headed the ball to senior Aaron Overmars who finished for the goal.  The match was knotted up at one. 
 
The rest of the match was firmly controlled by the Buccaneers but the goalkeeping by Roke and the stout Laker defense halted any scoring opportunity as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

  • Overmars scored his first career Laker goal in the second half.
