Waterbury, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport men's soccer team grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first half, as sophomore Henry Greiner (Munich, Germany) converted a penalty kick for his third goal of the season 25:24 into play, but the host Post University Eagles would tie the match in the second half with a tally in the 64th minute, as the local rivals battled to a 1-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference deadlock. This is second straight match in which the UB men have played that has ended in a 1-1 draw, as Bridgeport and Wilmington (Del.) University played to the same result on Knights Field on Saturday night in the Park City. With the tie, UB is now 8-3-3 overall and 6-1-2 in conference play. Post is now 8-3-2 overall and 5-1-2 in the CACC.
In their last 10 matches, the Purple Knights have produced seven wins and two ties with one loss.
Bridgeport goalkeeper Clement Anet (Grad., Cosse le Vivien, France) played a strong match, especially in the second half; as he made seven total saves, five of which came in the final 45 minutes.
Post outshot Bridgeport, 16-9m on the day, and UB finished with a slight 4-3 edge on corner kicks.
Up next, the UB men's soccer team will wrap up its two-match road swing in New Jersey on Saturday afternoon at Georgian Court. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with the Purple Knights' women's team.
