FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's soccer team picked up a point in the Horizon League standings with a draw against Detroit Mercy on Saturday (Oct. 19). The Mastodons celebrated Senior Day prior to the contest, honoring Daniel Tareke, Isaac Machado, Felipe Medina, Luis Toledo, Juan Romero and Adrian Renteria for their dedication to the Mastodon program.
Detroit Mercy scored very early in the evening, just 2:36 into the game. The Mastodons controlled possession for the majority of the remainder of the first half, but did not find the back of the net in the opening 45. The 'Dons had five of their nine corner kicks in the first half. The nine corners are a season-high for the Mastodons.
The Titans spent the entire second half playing a man down after Casey McCarthy was issued a red card in minute 40. After the scoreboard flipped to half two, the Mastodons dominated control of the match. After an 8-6 advantage in shots in the first 45, the 'Dons out-shot the Titans 16-4 in the second half.
Purdue Fort Wayne had six shots in a 6:30 span before finally finding an equalizer in the 71st minute. James Maxwell charged deep into the box to chip a ball from Marco Valencia into the net. After this, the Mastodons had seven shots to try to find a game-winner, but they were turned away each time. In minute 77, Shane Anderson ripped a shot to the top right of the goal that the Detroit Mercy keep made a spectacular dive to keep from going into the net.
The Mastodons finished with 24 shots, a season-high against Division I competition.
With the draw, Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 6-4-2, 3-2-1 in the Horizon League. The Mastodons are 4-0-1 at the Hefner Soccer Complex this season. Detroit Mercy moves to 2-8-3, 1-2-3.
Purdue Fort Wayne will be back on the pitch at Cleveland State on Saturday (Oct. 26).
