THE BASICS:

- Score: Assumption 1, Southern New Hampshire 1 (2OT)

- Record: Assumption (7-8-1, 6-5-1 NE-10), Southern New Hampshire (10-3-2, 7-3-2 NE-10)

- Location: Manchester, N.H.

The Lead: Assumption scored first but Southern New Hampshire quickly tied it up before the half. However, neither team scored again as the Hounds came away with a hard-fought double overtime draw on Tuesday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- Assumption broke open the scoring in the 39th minute to take a 1-0 lead. Matt Gilson (Cumberland, R.I. / Mount Saint Charles Academy) sent a ball from just outside the 18 over the defense to a streaking Chase Gurcan (Fort Salonga, N.Y. / St. Anthony's) and he kicked the ball out of the air past the charging keeper.

- The advantage was short-lived as the Penmen responded just a minute later on a goal by Enzo Giuliani off a cross from Jonathan Lach.

- Neither team could break through over the final 45 minutes, as both goalies came up with big saves. Freshman Brian Murray (Camas, Wash. / Camas) was able to get in front of a point-blank shot early in the period and then Nick Zucco made a diving save on a Simon Trcka (Prague, Czech Republic / Thornton Academy) shot in the 64th minute.

- Southern New Hampshire forced Murray to make a pair of saves in the overtime and then nearly scored in double overtime, but Connor Henry (Northborough, Mass. / Algonquin Regional) was in the goal mouth to clear the ball out of harm's way.

- Assumption put a shot on goal from 25 yards out in the final second, forcing a save from Zucco as they earned the draw.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- The Penmen outshot the Hounds 20-7 while also owning a 6-2 edge in corner kicks.

- Assumption's draw was its first in seven overtime games this season, and also the Hounds fourth double overtime game in their last five matches overall. Over that span the Hounds are 2-2-1.

- Murray was impressive as he anchored the defense with nine saves, including four in the two overtimes. Zucco made four stops between the pipes to go to 9-3-2 this year.

UP NEXT:

- Assumption concludes its regular season on Friday as the team hosts Franklin Pierce at 7 pm.
