Hartford, Conn. – Sophomore back Jack Vogel (Northborough, Mass.) netted his first career goal in dramatic fashion, tying the game at 1-1 in the 78th minute, as the Trinity College Bantams played to a 1-1 tie against the visiting Bowdoin College Polar Bears in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) men's soccer action this afternoon.  Trinity, ranked No. 5 in New England, moves to 6-1-2 overall and 3-1-2 in the NESCAC, while Bowdoin is now 2-2-3 overall and 0-2-2 in the league and extends its unbeaten streak to four games (1-0-3).  Trinity, despite a three-game winless streak, has its best record after nine games since 2009 (7-1-1).

After a scoreless first half that saw the teams combine for just seven shots between them, Bowdoin struck first 4:20 into the second half on an unassisted tally by senior midfielder Zach Danssaert (Solana Beach, Calif.).  The Trinity offense picked it up beginning in the 70th minute, earning five corner kicks in an eight-minute span, and Vogel scored on his only shot of the game and just the eighth of his career.  Senior midfielder Andrew McNair (Westport, Conn.) assisted on the play and the shot caromed of the goalie and a Bowdoin player before heading into the goal.

Trinity outshot Bowdoin, 14-4, after the Polar Bear goal including a 7-2 edge in the overtimes.  Bowdoin senior goalie Will Wise (Cohasset, Mass.) made two saves on shots by Trinity rookie forward Cody Savonen (Orleans, Mass.) late in regulation and in the first overtime and another on Bantam senior forward Christian Carrasquillo (Manchester, Conn.) two more in the second extra frame for four of his seven saves.  Trinity freshman backstop Domenic Quade (Norwood, Mass.) finished with four saves, including a brilliant stop against Polar Bear freshman midfielder Austin Downing (Scarborough, Maine) on a two-on-one in the 63rd minute and back-to-back stymies in the 104th minute of play.
