Tusculum, Barton battle to 1-1 draw
Box score GREENEVILLE, Tenn. ---

Tusculum College and Barton College played to a 1-1 draw in non-conference men's soccer action Sunday afternoon at Pioneer Field.

The Pioneers (3-2-1) outshot the Bulldogs (1-4-1) by a 19-6 margin but were thwarted by Barton keeper Vasily Yakimkin, who finished with 10 saves in the match.

Tusculum took a 1-0 lead at 31:01 when Cody Kammerzell took a quick pass from Stephen McNeill and beat Yakimkin to the near side for this third goal of the season.

The Pioneers nursed the lead until the 65:35 mark, when a corner kick by the Bulldogs caromed around in the box before settling on the foot of Archer Bane, who netted his third goal of the season.

Barton had the best scoring chance in overtime, but a shot from Kevin Strassburger bent just wide of the far post midway through the first extra period. Tusculum had the other four shots of overtime, but could not find the game-winner.

In addition to its shot advantage, Tusculum finished with a 12-3 edge over Barton in corner kicks. The teams combined for 13 fouls in the match, while the Bulldogs were flagged twice for offsides to once by the Pioneers.

Andy Goellner saw three shots on goal in his 110 minutes between the pipes for the Pioneers, and finished with two saves. Yakimkin had four saves in each half of regulation and added one stop in each of the overtime periods.

The Pioneers will resume South Atlantic Conference action Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. when they host Mars Hill at Pioneer Field.
