BOSTON, Mass. - October 18, 2022 - The Dean College men's soccer team tied Emmanuel, 2-2, in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) contest at Clemente Field under the lights Tuesday evening. 

Dean (4-6-4, 2-5-3 GNAC) travels to Johnson & Wales on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. match with the Wildcats. Emmanuel (5-4-6, 3-3-4 GNAC) hosts Elms on Saturday at 3 p.m.

Emmanuel took a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute after Dean was whistled for a foul in the box, resulting in a penalty shot. Pedro Andres-Vasquez stepped to the spot and ripped a shot to the left. The Bulldogs keeper guessed right, but the ball had enough pace on it to just get passed him into the back of the net. 

Dean answered five minutes into the second half on a penalty shot of their own. Junior Sean Doherty (Chelmsford, Mass.) converted the try for his first goal of the season. 

The Bulldogs went in front 2-1 in the 75th minute when junior Reinorf Kusi (Malden, Mass.) volleyed a cross from freshman Jake Richard (Townsend, Mass.) into the right side of the net. 

The Saints knotted the score at 2-2 with less than four minutes to play in the match. Richie Hickson found Renato Martinez in close who potted his second goal of the year. 

First-year goalie Jake Godwin (Norwalk, Conn.) finished with four saves for Dean, while Vincent Conelli had three stops for the Saints. 

In an evenly matched contest, Emmanuel held a slim 12-10 edge in shots (6-5 on goal), while each team registered four corners.
