A pair of first-half penalty kicks was all the scoring in today's contest.
Senior Ross Suleski (Amesbury, Mass.) scored for the Falcons as he connected in the 34th minute for his third goal of the season after a take-down just inside of the box which resulted in the penalty kick attempt.
Ten minutes later, Mount Ida's Carlos Rojas tied the game with a penalty kick of his own as it was his first goal of the season. The penalty kick was awarded to the Mustangs after a Falcon defender played the ball off his hand inside of the box.
The draw puts the Mustangs' record even as the move to 5-5-2 on the year and 2-2-1 in GNAC play. For the Falcons, the tie moves them to 4-7-1 overall and 1-3-1 in the league standings.
