ALBANY, N.Y. - The College of Saint Rose was two seconds away from securing a 2-1 come-from-behind victory against one of the Northeast-10 Conference's most prestigious programs today, but visiting Southern New Hampshire took advantage a direct kick to force overtime and ultimately head out with a point in the conference standings.
 
"I couldn't be prouder of the effort the team put forth tonight! This was a well-earned point against a very talented Southern New Hampshire team. There were so many amazing performances tonight. I was so just proud," said head coach John Ciano regarding the 2-2 draw.
 
Midfielder Joao Brum, a graduate student, converted the final goal when he drove his shot from just outside the area into the top left corner after the Golden Knights (6-2-1/2-1-1 NE10) were whistled for a foul.
 
Saint Rose appeared to be in great shape up until then as sophomore midfielder Filippo Bellú; one-timed a deflected ball inside the box to tie the game 1-1 with 12 minutes expired in the second half.
 
Junior midfielders Oskar Aaströem and Andrew Lule then created space deep in the offensive end with two quick passes that found their way to freshman midfielder Josh Elliott who converted from the middle of the area for his first goal in a Golden Knights uniform.
 
In the first half, junior forward Nadjib Chibout put Southern New Hampshire (3-4-2/1-3-1 NE10) ahead with 26:18 elapsed after he one-timed a square pass on the right flank from senior forward Michael Goncalves.
 
Between the posts, Saint Rose sophomore Ryan Henning and Penmen sophomore Patrick Quinn each made two of their four saves in the second overtime as each side engineered potential game-ending scenarios. Sophomore midfielder Harry SÖederlind rifled a low shot in the opening minute, but Quinn came off his line and stretched low to his left to deny the opportunity. Meanwhile, Henning twice stopped Brum on-target threats throughout the final 10 minutes.
 
Overall, the Penmen manufactured a 23-9 shot advantage although the shots-on-goal stood at six apiece.
 
Looking ahead, Saint Rose is back home Wednesday to face Upstate Challenge and NE10 rival Le Moyne at 7:00 pm. Southern New Hampshire is back on the pitch a week from today with a 7:00 pm home conference date with American International.
