On Monday, Sept. 24, men’s soccer and Bucknell played to a 1–1 draw in Fairfax after 120 minutes of action.  

This result snaps Mason’s six-game losing streak and puts their record at 1–6–1.

In the 17th minute, Mason freshman Léon Reilhac scored the first goal of his collegiate career. Mason held Bucknell scoreless until the Bison converted a penalty kick opportunity in the 74th minute, knotting the score up at one.

With seconds remaining in the second overtime period, Bucknell attempted a shot on goal, but sophomore goalie Brison Moorhead made his fourth and most important save of the match, preserving the draw.
