Box Score Highlights

Luke Hoelting found the net in the first half, but the Roos could not hold on to win

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Still seeking its first road win of the season, Kansas City Men's Soccer traveled to St. Thomas this afternoon and settled for a draw, 1-1. The Roos got a goal from Luke Hoelting midway through the first half and had opportunities to add more, but were unable to capitalize. A goal in the 66th minute from the Tommies tied things up, and sent both teams home with a point.

KEY MOMENTS

11' / 0-0 | The Roos first opportunity of the day came as Hector Taboada sent a through pass to Julien Le Bourdoulous on the right side of the goal, but the shot opportunity was just wide of the mark.
22' / 1-0 | Brice Middleton forced a turnover by the Tommies in the attacking third and immediately went to work. He eventually sent a pass to the foot of Hoelting, who latched onto the ball and sent it into the top netting for the goal.

23' / 1-0 | The Roos wanted another goal right after the first, building possession and finding Brevyn Cole up the right sideline. Cole pushed in to the middle of the field and let a left-footed shot fly, but it was collected by the UST keeper.
43' / 1-0 | St. Thomas applied pressure in the final minutes of the first half, resulting in a cross to the front of the goal mouth. A header was sent towards the net, but Stefano Camerlengo was in the correct position and made the save.
64' / 1-0 | After Samuel Nagy drew a foul just outside of the box, Le Bourdoulous sent a beautiful service to the middle of a crowd, finding Seth Kacich. Connecting with a header, Kacich's shot sailed just above the crossbar.
66' / 1-1 | A free kick bounced around the box before it was put into the net by the Tommies for an equalizing goal.
67' / 1-1 | The Tommies had another opportunity on a free kick shortly after their first goal, but the shot was easily handled by Camerlengo.
82' / 1-1 | Kansas City applied pressure on the UST kicker and forced a turnover, as Middleton sent the ensuing pass towards a soaring Murguia, but he could not quite make use of the open goal.

STATS TO NOTE

Six Roos attempted shots on the day, led by Le Bourdoulous with three and Christian Koffi with two.
Griffin Cook did not play in the first half, but made a substitution at halftime and played the full second half.
