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

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.
