Bulldogs Earn 1-1 Draw With Princeton

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team picked a point in the conference standings with a 1-1 draw against Princeton on Saturday evening at Reese Stadium. First year Joseph Farouz scored in the 61st minute to give Yale the lead, but a late equalizer from Princeton resulted in a tie.

The Bulldogs earned their second conference draw of the season and move to 4-3-2 overall. The Tigers are now 3-3-1 as a result.

"It was an uncharacteristic start from us tonight and I don't think we had the right energy and mentality," said Kylie Stannard, the 5K Corral Head Coach of the Bulldogs. "However, I thought we responded very well in the second half and got back to playing how we are capable.  Everyone in the league is fighting for points so we knew there would be ups and downs in the game and it's about managing those better than the other team and also make sure we finish games stronger. "

How It Happened
  • 36' | Princeton forward Kevin Kelley gets behind the Yale defense, but goalkeeper Chris Edwards makes the save to keep the Tigers off the board.
  • 43' | A Tigers' header off a corner kick clangs off the post and the rebound is cleared by TJ Presthus to wrap up the first half.
  • 61' | GOAL! Jake Schaffer dishes it to Eric Lagos at the center of the Princeton box. Lagos finds Farouz on the left side who gathers and fires a low shot, beating the Tigers' keeper and putting the Bulldogs on the board.
  • 74' | Schaffer nearly doubles the Bulldogs' lead, but his attempt from the right side of the box hits off the side of the net.
  • 76' | Jamie Orson gets a head on a corner kick but his fantastic attempt is narrowly saved by Tigers' keeper Khamari Hadaway.
  • 77' | Kai Moos rockets a shot toward the net, but Hadaway makes another great save to hold the deficit at one.
  • 84' | Princeton forward Will Francis ties the game at 1-1 on an incredible long distance shot from outside the box.
Game Notes
  • With the draw, the Bulldogs continue a five-match unbeaten streak dating back to Sept. 11.
  • Yale has done well against Princeton of late with a 4-1-1 record over the past six matchups.
  • Farouz has scored a goal in two consecutive games and has tallied at least one point in five of the last seven games.
  • Edwards finished with five saves while his counterpart, Hadaway, stopped a pair shots.
Up Next
"It will be nice to have a full week to recover after playing nine games in September so we will make sure to take full advantage of some physical and mental recovery," said Stannard.

The Bulldogs will continue Ivy League play at home against Dartmouth on Oct. 7.
