Storm, Penguins play to 2-2 draw

Dixie State settles for one point despite large shot differential

ST. GEORGE, Utah – Dixie State men's soccer team posted a draw against Dominican, 2-2, Thursday afternoon at Hansen Stadium.
 
"The team played extremely hard tonight," said Dixie State head coach Danny Ortiz. "This group continues to show great character as they continue to play hard until the final whistle."
 
The Red Storm struck first in the 40th minute when Ethan VandenBosch (South Ogden, UT/Bonneville) rifled shot into the left side of the net off a rebounded shot by Bryan Baugh (Henderson, NV/Green Valley). The goal capped a first half that saw Dixie State (1-11-2/1-8-1) outshoot the visiting Penguins, 11-5.
 
Dominican (2-12-2/2-7-1) scored twice in the span of 53 seconds to take a 2-1 lead. Lee LeVerrier took a delivered ball in the box and put it away to the left post. Kolby Mitnick then found the net after a loose ball ended perfectly on his foot.
 
VandenBosch turned into a facilitator for the match equalizer in the 80th minute. His pass allowed Santiago Guerrero to erase the Penguin lead and tie the match at 2-2.
 
"We gave up an early lead," Ortiz added. "But the guys fought back to tie it up."
 
After some tempers began to flare late in the second half, the physicality increased. At the end of regulation, Dominican's Alex Herrera was penalized with a straight red card hindering his team by playing a man down heading into overtime.
 
Dixie State had all of the shot opportunities in the first overtime, including two by Michael Gray (Las Vegas, NV/Bishop Gorman).
 
The Penguins seized momentum early in the second overtime with two corner kicks and one header attempted saved by Eddie Ortiz (Las Vegas, NV/Cimarron). The last of six Dominican yellow cards flipped the energy of the period towards the Storm. Two final attempts from Baugh and Jorge Echavarria (Las Vegas, NV/Sierra Vista) each missed right as the match ended 2-2 after full time.
 
Dixie State outshot Dominican 23-10 for the match, but the Penguins had more corner kicks (5-3).
 
The Storm continues play at home Saturday at 10 a.m. with a match against Academy of Art.
