HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Breaking out to a 1-0 lead during the first half on Harry Swartz's second goal of the season, the Northeastern men's soccer team held its ground against Hofstra on Wednesday night until Matthew Vowinkel's 76th-minute equalizer ended up prolonging the match into double overtime, where it ended in a 1-1 draw.
 
Swartz's goal provided the cherry to the Huskies' opening statement, during which Northeastern (2-5-2, 1-1-1 CAA) had built a 5-1 shot advantage and controlled the majority of possession. Gaku Lange sandwiched two tries around Dan Munch's attempt, all three of which took place before Swartz's 22nd-minute give-and-go with Lewis Aird.
 
Three minutes after Swartz's strike, Adama Kaba had an opportunity to bump the Huskies' lead to 2-0. Kaba used his nifty footwork to navigate around his defenders and create open space from roughly 20 yards away, but ended up lofting his attempt over the crossbar.
 
NU goalkeeper Jonathan Thuresson made nine saves, equaling his career high from Sept. 9 against No. 12 UMass Lowell. Thuresson put on a brilliant defensive display during the Pride's best attacking sequence of the match, recording three saves on six shots faced during a two-minute span just after the hour mark.
 
Five of Northeastern's 14 shot attempts came from left wing rookie Dan Munch, who struck three attempts on target. Khori Bennett charted two attempts as a reserve, managing to hit the crossbar during the 107th minute.
 
After coming up empty on its first 12 shots of the match, Hofstra (1-3-5, 0-0-3 CAA) finally found the netting on its 13th try, leveling the game with less than 15 minutes remaining in regulation. Although the Pride would go on to outshoot the Huskies, 7-4, during extra time, Thuresson saved both attempts on target, allowing Northeastern to earn a key league point.
 
The Huskies also did well disrupting Hofstra's 11 corners, managing to create five of their own.

With the draw, NU maintains its one-point lead on Hofstra in the CAA table. The Huskies finished the day in a tie for third place in the conference with James Madison.
