MILWAUKEE, Wisc. The Seton Hall men’s soccer team played to its second consecutive tie on Saturday night, ending in a 1-1 draw with Marquette. The Pirates (6-5-2, 2-3-2) are now just two points back of second place in the BIG EAST Blue Division.
Marquette outshot Seton Hall 6-3 in a scoreless first half. Junior keeper Paul McHenry (Ephrata, Pa.) made a pair of saves for the Pirates, while Matt Pyzdrowski had one save for the Golden Eagles (2-5-4, 1-4-2) on an attempt by SHU senior Christian Vercollone (Pembroke, Mass.).
The Pirates broke through in the 50th minute when sophomore Steven Rose (Acton, Mass.) notched his second goal of the season on a free kick from the top left corner of the box, making it 1-0.
Marquette tied things up in the 63rd minute when Nick Kay headed in an Anthony Colaizzi crossing pass from six yards out.
SHU dominated the overtime periods, outshooting Marquette 4-0. But the Pirates were unable to find the back of the net and had to settle for a hard-earned point on the road.
McHenry was outstanding in net as he came up with eight saves. Pyzdrowski made five stops for Marquette.
Senior Carlos Salazar (Kearny, N.J.) and sophomores Samuel Petrone (Glen Rock, N.J.) and Dritan Sela (Wayne, N.J.) each had three shots to pace the Pirates. Four Marquette players also totaled a trio of attempts.
SHU is back in action at home on Wednesday night when St. John’s visits for a 7:00 p.m. match.
