COLCHESTER, Vt. – Daniel Hernandez (Salem, NH) scored his first collegiate goal midway through the first half, but the Southern New Hampshire University men’s soccer team had to settle for a 1-1 double overtime tie with Saint Michael’s College in a Northeast-10 match Wednesday afternoon.  The Penmen are unbeaten (2-0-2) in their last four games and are now 4-4-5 overall and 4-3-2 in NE-10 play, while the Purple Knights are 9-2-4 and 4-2-4 in the league.

Hernandez, a freshman, got the Penmen on the board in the 32nd minute when he took a pass from Gabe Mercier (Middleboro, MA) and fired it home.  Southern New Hampshire would lead 1-0 at halftime and held that lead until there were 36 seconds remaining in regulation.  Saint Michael’s would tie the game at the 89:24 mark when Jack Killian scored his first goal of the season on an assist from Yoshikazu Ishii.  Neither team would find the back of the net in two 10-minute overtime sessions.

Dan Pelc (Hamilton, ONT) did not make a save for Southern New Hampshire, which outshot Saint Michael’s 12-6.  Tim Williamson stopped four shots for the Purple Knights.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action Saturday when it travels to face Le Moyne College in a 2:30 match.
