Spring Break
Roos battle to 2-2 stalemate
David Cordill
Issue date: 9/8/08 Section: Sports
The Kangaroos had several chances in the second frame.
Summit League Offensive Player of the Week, Brian Harris nearly evened the match for the Roos in the 60th minute, but the senior forward's shot hit the crossbar.
Sosa's stab in the 65th minute smacked the post, as did senior midfielder Caleb Mitchell's shot at the 78:29 mark.
The evener came when senior defender Garret Guthrie leveled the score at 2-2 with his second tally of 2008. UMKC senior midfielder Miguel Rodrigues set up the play with a nice cross and Guthrie took full advantage of it.
The score stayed deadlocked at the end of regulation time and the match went into extra periods.
FIU's Guerra, who finished the match with six shots on goal (SOG), triggered two errant shots in the first overtime (OT). He challenged his brother twice in the second OT with a pair of SOGs in the 108th minute.
UMKC was unable to mount any threats during the two five-minute periods and the game ended without a clear victor.
The Kangaroos had only two corner kick opportunities on the afternoon. FIU ended game with six. The Panthers recorded 10 SOGs on the Roos, who managed just four in 110 minutes of play.
