The second-ranked University of Mary Washington men's soccer team allowed early goals in each half, but responded with equalizers each time in a 2-2 tie under the lights at the Battleground. The Eagles move to 9-1-1 on the season.

Lynchburg jumped ahead at 5:03 into the contest, and the Eagles battled from behind for much of the half. After drawing multiple corner kicks (10 in the opening half), UMW finally connected, as senior defender Aidan Shell scored on a header from Diego Guzman's corner kick. The game remained tied to intermission.

In the second, the script was the same, as Lynchburg pulled back ahead with its second goal of the night (and just the second allowed by the Eagles all season at home) at 48:24. Again, the Eagles fought from behind, with the tying tally coming at 55:43 from Sammy Amorose, on assists from Nelsar Castillo and Carter Berg. UMW provided high drama in the final 34 minutes, hitting the crossbar and goalpost with shots, but the game remained tied at the final horn.

UMW led in shots, 19-7, as well as corner kicks, 16-1. Eagle 'keeper Freddy Rogers made a pair of saves on the night.

The Eagles will return to action on Tuesday afternoon when they host gettysburg College at 4:00 p.m.
