Box Score | Season Statistics | Match Report

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Martin Nygaard's set piece goal during the 61st minute of Saturday night's CAA match at William & Mary put the Northeastern men's soccer team in front, 2-1, despite Ryder Bell answering back for the Tribe less than three minutes later as the two sides played to the 2-2 draw at Albert-Daly Field.
 
From the top right corner of the 18-yard box, Nygaard brushed the top of the William & Mary wall with his free kick, which used the deflection to bend under the crossbar for the senior's first goal of the season (fourth career goal).
 
Minutes later, Bell responded with a series of back-and-forth cuts along the left flank, right-footing his attempt from 15 yards away off the right netting to level the match at 2-2.
 
Northeastern (3-5-1, 1-1-1 CAA) fell behind, 1-0, during the 24th minute, when Antonio Bustamante drove his 20-yard, straightaway free kick through the Huskies' wall and inside the left post.
 
NU equalized during the 55th minute, receiving a fortunate break as William & Mary (2-6-2, 0-1-2 CAA) cleared Tyler Welch's cross along the left end line into its own net.
 
Chandler Cree recorded a season high, five saves, during his second career start.
 
With the draw, Northeastern secured its first away point at William & Mary since the 2012 season.
