Clinton, N.Y. - Trinity College and Hamilton College played 110 minutes to a 1-1 draw in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) men's soccer action this afternoon at Love Field.  Both teams are now 1-0-1 overall and 0-0-1 in the NESCAC.  The Continentals have lost just once in their last 10 home games.  Hamilton faces another NESCAC opponent next weekend, traveling to Bates for a 2 p.m. contest. The Bantams host Worcester State in non-conference action tomorrow in their home opener at 2 p.m.

After a scoreless first half, the Bantams got on the board first on a goal by sophomore forward Cody Savonen (Orleans, Mass.), who took a through pass from freshman Alex Bednarik (Kensington, Conn.) and put Trinity up 1-0 with a 25-yard blast in the 57th minute.  Dan Kraynak Kraynak picked up the equalizer eight minutes later when Andrew Martin who sent a cross to Alec Talsania '17 at the left post and Talsania's shot ricocheted off the post to land directly in front of Kraynak, who deposited it into the wide-open net. 

Both teams had great scoring chances in the final minutes of regulation with Hamilton losing a go-ahead score on an offsides call with 2:42 to go. Savonen had Trinity's two best opportunities at a tie-breaking goal in regulation. With 8:48 left, a long pass skipped past a Continental defender leaving Savonen with an open breakaway for nearly 40 yards before Hamilton goalkeeper Harris Pollack came out of the net to stifle him in the top left corner of the box. Six minutes later Savonen got behind the Hamilton defense for another breakaway but shot wide.

Hamilton had the two best scoring opportunities of overtime.  Bantam senior goalkeeper Jason Katz (Middleton, Mass.) stopped a hard shot by Talsania, who had shed a defender at the top of the box in the 92nd minute. Three minutes later John McGuiness '16 split a pair of Trinity defenders on a breakaway before putting his 25-yard shot wide.  Katz finished with five saves and Pollack made three stops.
