BLOOMSBURG- It was a challenging night for the Bloomsburg University men's soccer team as the squad took on Lock Haven University at Sports Stadium on Saturday night. The Huskies were unable to outdo the Eagles and the game ended in a 2-2 deadlock after nearly two hours of play.

Five minutes into the first half, the Eagles Greg Shertzer headed the ball over keeper freshman Ramon Lobo Jr. (Dillsburg, Northern)'s challenge at the top of the box, giving Lock Haven a 1-0 lead. The remainder of the half was quiet, with the two teams only taking a combined seven shots.

Lock Haven jumped on the scoreboard early in the second half. Shertzer scored the goal on a shot to the bottom right corner of the net. He was assisted by Kevin Wolfe and David Qaisi. In the 64^th minute, Bloomsburg's freshman Anthony Manero (Richboro, Council Rock North) hit the back of the net shortly after a corner kick from freshman Cale Bauer (Fleetwood, Fleetwood), making the score 2-1.

The Huskies evened the score with less than 12 minutes left, as sophomore Bryce Shaffer (Gettysburg, Gettysburg Area)hit the bottom corner of the net hard, from a pass by freshman Michael Del Sordi (Scotch Plains, NJ, Scotch Plains-Fanwood). 

Both teams made strong efforts in the overtime period to steal the win, but after both extra frames were complete, neither teams were able to come away with a winning goal, ending the match 2-2. 

The Eagles Keeper Zach Hubler ended the game with four saves in net, while Lobo Jr. stopped six of the Eagles eight shots on goal.
