Madison, NJ … The College of New Jersey men's soccer team scored a late goal in the second half to garner a 1-1 draw at Drew University on Wednesday night.
 
Freshman forward Mateo Panizza (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) netted his team-high fourth goal of the season in the 81^st minute to knot the game at 1-1. Both teams battled in the overtime periods, but neither team was able to tally the golden goal
 
The Lions season record now stands at 4-3-1, while the Rangers are 4-2-1.
 
Drew struck early with a goal in the 11^th minute. Anthony McMyne got possession tight in the box and poked in his second goal of the season. That would be all of the offense Drew could produce against a stingy TCNJ defense.
 
Still trailing 1-0 in the 81^st minute, a foul just outside the right corner of the box gave the Lions a free kick. Senior Domenic Polidoro (Monroe, NJ/Monroe) took the restart and his initial kick was blocked by the wall. He served the rebound toward the left side of the goal and Panizza headed home the equalizer into the left pocket.
 
Senior Nick Costelloe (Freehold, NJ/Freehold Twp.) had a solid chance in the first overtime. Junior Peter Dresch (Highland Park, NJ/St. Joseph) delivered a corner kick to the near post and Costelloe's shot attempt went high in the final minute of the initial OT period. Costelloe also nearly scored in the opening minutes of the game when he knocked a header off the crossbar.
 
Lions' goalkeeper Dan Walsh (Waldwick, NJ/Waldwick) stopped four shots in the match. Ranger goalie Stephan Lukianov registered five saves in the game.
 
TCNJ returns home on Saturday to take on New Jersey Athletic Conference opponent New Jersey City University at 11 a.m. At halftime, the Lions will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the 1996 national championship team and the 25-year anniversary of the 1991 national runner-up squad.
