The two teams played 110 minutes of soccer and remained knotted at one, unable to determine a winner at the final buzzer. With both teams undefeated on the year, Ramapo now stands at 4-0-1 overall, ECSU now at 3-0-1.
Stone put away a goal in the 26th minute, his 4th of the year, but with time coming to an end in the first half, Eastern Connecticut was awarded a penalty kick and capitalized, tying the game at one goal a piece. Maxim Fantl netted the goal at 40:23 for the Warriors to head into the intermission tied at 1-1.
After 65 minutes of scoreless soccer, the two team recorded their first tie of the 2009 season.
