UMBC

Durham, N.H.- UMBC senior midfielder Milo Kapor (Toronto, Ont./Emily Carr) buried his third penalty kick of the season in the 77^th minute and the Retrievers rallied from an early deficit and played host New Hampshire to a 1-1 double-overtime draw.  

UMBC is now 5-3-4 on the season, while UNH is now 4-4-3- both squads are 0-1-1 in America East Conference play.

New Hampshire opened the scoring in the 23^rd minute, as Alex Hussein headed in Robert Palumbo’s 25-yard free kick.

The Retrievers only managed three shots in the first 45 minutes, but applied constant pressure in the second stanza, outshooting the hosts, 8-4, and taking all four corner kick opportunities. With just more than 13 minutes remaining, junior forward Kadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y./Mercer County CC) was taken down in the box, drawing a yellow card on the Wildcat defender.

Kapor stepped to the penalty spot and beat UNH sophomore netminder Travis Worra to knot the game at 1-1. Kapor has converted on all three of his and the team’s penalty kick attempts on the season.  

Shots were even at 11-all and UMBC junior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) made two saves in 110 minutes of work.
