KANSAS CITY, MO – The UIndy men's soccer team capped off their two game weekend road trip with a 2-2 draw against Rockhurst. 

Today's draw extends the Greyhounds' unbeaten streak against Rockhurst to nine, with this being the first draw in any of those nine matches.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Neither team created many chances in the first half, but both teams traded blows, each getting on the board once in the first half. 

The Hawks were the first to do so in the 17th minute following a corner kick that was finished from five yards out by Noah Brende, but the Greyhounds responded 11 minutes later when Joey Longo's shot on a cross from Gio Terlizzi snuck past Franco Briani Brunoro to square the game at one. 

Coming out of the locker room, both teams had great chances just one minute apart, including Longo's effort that was cleared off the line. 

But who else other than Alvaro Sanchez, was the one who found the goal to put UIndy ahead 2-1 after 59 minutes on a shot from inside the six yard box that hit the roof of the goal.

Keerti Unnamatla kept the Hounds in front with two big saves in the 80th and 81st minutes on shots by Levi Caldwell and Asier Olano. With those two saves, Unnamatla brought his season total saves to nine with those two saves today. 

But the key moment in the second half occurred when Terlizzi tripped up Sean McIntosh in the box to give the Hawks a penalty kick. Immanuel Wayoro tucked the penalty away in the 82nd minute to knot the game at two. 

This Hounds weren't done, as they created three more chances over the final eight minutes to possibly get the game winner. Sanchez's effort was stopped brilliantly by Briani Brunoro, while Alex Ziermann's two headed effort both went harmlessly over the bar to end the game at a 2-2 draw.
