ADA -- The No. 4-ranked Ohio Northern men's soccer team played Ohio Athletic Conference-foe John Carroll to a 1-1 tie Saturday evening at Kerscher Stadium.
The Polar Bears move to 13-0-3 overall, and 3-0-2 in the OAC, while the Blue Streaks move to 7-5-2, 4-0-1.
Senior Dustin Lorenzo (Sidney/Sidney) led Northern offensively as he scored the lone goal.
After Northern drew a foul just outside the 18-yard box in the 16th minute, senior Austin Horton (Lewis Center/Olentangy) would play a free kick to the far post where Lorenzo would beat the JCU keeper with a header to give Northern the 1-0 lead.
John Carroll was able to answer in the 36th minute with a header of their own off a free kick to even the score at 1-1.
A defensive battle would ensue in the second half as the contest remained tied after regulation.
Northern would threaten on multiple occasions in both overtime periods, but could not capitalize.
Senior Dean McNeil (Medina/Medina) posted a game-high six saves for Northern, defensively.
Northern outshot John Carroll by a 19-16 margin, and won the corner kick battle by a 7-4 mark.
The Polar Bears return to action Wednesday evening as they travel to Wilmington to take on the Quakers at 7 pm.
