Salt Lake City, UT - The Westminster Griffins Men's Soccer team looked poised for victory with a one-goal lead late in regulation, but the Orediggers of Colorado School of Mines were awarded a penalty kick in the 88th minute. Ayman Bushara converted the penalty to tie the game at 1-1, which remained the final score.
Owen Gallo gave the Griffins an early lead with his first goal of the season, finding the back of the net in just the fifth minute of play. Westminster put up a strong offensive effort, tallying 11 shots (five on target) and earning seven corner kicks. Roark Looney anchored the defense with two saves in goal.
The Griffins will stay home as they prepare to host Colorado Christian University next Sunday at 2:30 PM on Dumke Field. Fans can purchase tickets in advance at WestminsterGriffins.com or tune in to catch all of the Griffins' action this season on the RMAC Network.
