Behrend has won six of its past seven games, while the Mavericks have been perfect the past six matches. The game had high implications with a Behrend win the blue and white would be the number one seed. With a Behrend loss or tie the Mavericks would hold the number one seed in the conference tournament.
Behrend and Medaille played a scoreless game through the first thirty-six minutes of the half until Behrend freshman midfielder Kyle McKinney (Chesterland, OH/West Geauga) took a pass from Brian Silfee (McMurray/Peters Township) and ripped it passed the Maverick's goalkeeper with only 8:57 remaining in the first period. McKinney's goal, the first of his collegiate career, will be one to remember.
The Mavericks would strike in the second half off a corner kick to tie the game at one a piece. The game would remain tied throughout regulation and two overtimes. The Behrend Lions are now 11-6-1, 7-1-1 and the Mavericks are 12-5-1 and 8-0-1 in league play.
The tie puts the Behrend Lions in a waiting game as Frostburg and La Roche will play later tonight. A Frostburg win will drop the Behrend Lions to a number three seed and they would host a #3 vs. #6 seed game on Saturday, November 1 on the Behrend Fields. A Frostburg tie or loss would give the blue and white a number two seed and would put them playing the winner of the #4 vs. #5 game on Wednesday, November 5 at 2:00 p.m. on the Behrend Fields.
