SUPERIOR, Wis. – Junior goalkeeper
Ulrik Lager (Vollen, Norway/Asker VGS) made five saves – including three in the second overtime – to help the UW-Superior men's soccer team to a 1-1 draw against Concordia (Minn.) at NBC Spartan Sports Complex Sunday.
After Concordia tied the match in the 78th minute, Lager, making only his second start of the season, stopped four shots total in the overtime periods to ensure the deadlock.
Lager made one save on Casey Haldis in the 98th minute and then, with less than two minutes remaining, stopped Haldis and Sam Gess in quick succession.
UWS opened the scoring in the 24th minute as
Blake Perry (Anoka, Minn./Anoka) retook possession of a bouncing ball along the right touchline and floated a left-footed shot over the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Noah Sahr. The goal was Perry's fourth of the season.
The Cobbers tied the match on a Nate Weaver goal, as he finished off a 4-on-3 break, taking a pass from Gees.
The 'Jackets outshot Concordia, 20-17, and 7-6 on shots on target. Superior had six corner kicks to the Cobbers' two.
UWS earned its second consecutive tie after Saturday's hotly contested match with St. Norbert and moves to 4-1-2 on the year. Lager improved to 1-0-1 on the season with Sahr, who made six saves, going to 2-1-1.
