The UR’s men’s soccer team came back from an early 1-0 deficit to force a draw Saturday at Fauver Stadium, their second tie of the year.
Clarkson’s sophomore Jay Jezioro (#11) scored his first goal of the season just five minutes into the game off an assist from senior Remi Ufheil (#2).
Two minutes later, UR fired two shots on goal from graduate student Kamal Ibrahim ( #9) and sophomore Alessio Cristanetti-Walker ( #19), respectively. Clarkson goalie junior Carter Kladstrup (#13) saved both attempts.
Cristanetti-Walker would try again in the 21st minute, only to be thwarted by Kladsrtrup again.
UR and Clarkson would each get one shot on goal before the end of the half; neither were successful.
Overall, despite outshooting Clarkson 10-2 in the half, UR entered their locker room down one.
The Yellowjackets would strike back in the second half, however, as Johnny Makula (first-year, #32) scored his fourth goal of the year 11 minutes into the final period. Makula was assisted on the goal by senior Nick Swanger ( #14) and sophomore Ben Kaufman (#31).
While UR completely stopped Clarkson from shooting the ball in the second half, they were unable to convert any more of their 10 other shot attempts in the game.
UR’s record fell to 4-1-2 whilst they await their next match against SUNY Geneseo at Fauver Stadium on Tuesday.
