DeKalb, Ill. - Men's soccer battled the gusting winds in DeKalb, Ill., as they tied Northern Illinois, 2-2, in a nonconference match-up Sunday afternoon.
NU gained the early advantage when Dan Doman (Bloomfield Hiils, Mich./Detroit Country Day) scored off a John Dahlquist (Bartlett, Ill./Bartlett) corner kick early in the second half. The goal was Doman's second of the season, and the assist gave Dahlquist his first collegiate points.
The Huskies charged right back with a goal in the 62nd minute, then went ahead after another goal in the 73rd minute.
The 'Cats kept fighting and evened the score at 2 three minutes later. Victor Boni (Scarsdale, N.Y./Scarsdale) scored his first goal as a Wildcat, assisted by Steven Jedlinski (Palatine, Ill./Fremd) and Doman. Jedlinski leads the squad with four assists on the year.
Adam Grossman (Potomac, Md./Churchill) was in goal for the 'Cats throughout regulation, tallying two saves. Ryan Pederson (Westerville, Ohio/Westerville North) took over the goaltending duties in overtime, making four stops to preserve the tie.
