Hamilton plays #3 Amherst to 1-1 tie

Box Score

Fred Porges '14 made a career-high 11 saves as Hamilton College fought nationally third-ranked Amherst to a 1-1 overtime tie in NESCAC men's soccer action Saturday at Hamilton's Love Field.

Porges made three saves in the final five minutes of play as the Continentals remained unbeaten at home this fall and snapped a two-game losing streak to the Lord Jeffs.


Dan Kraynak '15 scored Hamilton's goal early in the second period, blasting a short shot past Amherst goalkeeper Thomas Bull '16 after taking a pass fromGriffin Abbott '16. The goal was Kraynak's second of the season. Abbott leads the team with three assists.


Amherst, who outshot Hamilton 23-10, tied the game with 15 minutes left in regulation. A long throw-in from Christopher Martin '17 was headed into the net by a diving Nico Pascual-Leone '16 for his third goal of the year.


The Lord Jeffs' best overtime chance at the game-winning goal came on a header by Julien Aoyama '14 that Porges tipped over the cross bar. Porges also saved a shot by Andrew Orozco '17 on the ensuing corner kick.

Bull made four saves in goal for Amherst.

The Continentals play a non-conference game Tuesday at Ithaca College.
