Iona and Holy Cross Play to 1-1 Draw on Saturday

NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona College men's soccer played to a 1-1 draw with Holy Cross on Saturday afternoon at Mazzella Field. Lenworth Lopez scored in the 86th minute to force overtime and despite Iona having six of the seven chances during the extra periods, the match ended in a draw.

The Crusaders kicked off the scoring in the 33rd minute, converting on a Max Krause set-piece that he fed into the box. Jon Klein headed home the pass from Krause, putting Holy Cross in front 1-0. The score would hold heading into the halftime intermission.

The Gaels, who dominated time of possession and the majority of the statistical categories, finally broke through in the final ten minutes. Lopez scored his first goal of the season on a corner Edu Calvo-Salinas, who recorded his first assist of the year to help tie the match late.

In both of the extra periods, Iona had the majority of the chances, but could not find the back of the net. Julian Cabanillas, making his first appearance of the season, had the best chance of any Gaels, but missed wide right late in the second overtime. The score held throughout, sending Iona home with its first draw of the season.

Prior to the match, both programs joined at midfield for a ceremony to honor the 20th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks and all of the innoncent lives that were lost that day. Be sure to follow Iona College Athletics and men's soccer on all social media platforms:
