Box Score
Fort Wayne, IN - It was only fitting. For the ninth time in 17 seventeen matches during the 2010 campaign, the Mastodons needed extra time to decide the game, as IPFW and Oral Roberts battled to a 110-minute double-overtime tie on Senior Day 2010, 1-1.
The first half saw a flurry of activity from both teams. In the game's 13th minute, Golden Eagle Jarrett Hamilton took a give-and-go feed in the box and beat the keeper far side to give his team an early 1-0 advantage.
In the game's 24th minute, it was a pair of Mastodon seniors who had the answer. Casey Bowman fired a shot from outside the box that was too hot for the ORU keeper to handle. He deflected the shot to his feet where forward Chris Moreno got a foot on it to tap it in and knot the match at a goal apiece.
And that was it.
Over the remaining 76 minutes neither team could manage to find nylon. Despite the zeros in the scoresheet, neither side was short on chances. In all, the two teams would combine for 45 total shots, with the Mastodons outshooting the Golden Eagles 29-16. ORU held the advantage in shots on goal, though, 13-6.
The match was the final home tilt for 10 Mastodons players. Seniors James Neighbour, Andy Masteller, Oscar Narvaez, Donovan Dowling, Casey Bowman, Shari Clarke, Chris Dolinski, Cory Keitz, Chris Moreno and Jorge Ramirez.
Junior Max Touloute led the IPFW attack with eight shots. Seniors Donovan Dowling and Shari Clarke shared the keeping duties, with Dowling leading with five saves.
The tie closes the season for the 'Dons at 2-13-2 overall.
