DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton men's soccer team played its second Atlantic 10 game of the season against Fordham on Sunday and drew once again as the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The Flyers pulled ahead in the 27th minute when senior Abe Keller controlled the rebound from his attempted corner kick. Keller then crossed a ball into the box at the six-yard line where junior Amass Amankona was ready and waiting. Amankona fired home a header to the top of the goal, just past the reach of the goalkeeper.

From that point on for the rest of the first half, it was a constant assault on Fordham's goal by Dayton's offense. The Rams held strong for the most part, but the Flyers controlled the tempo and kept the ball in the Fordham half the majority of the first period of play.

The score remained in UD's favor 1-0 at the half. The Flyers recorded 13 total shots, six of which were on goal while the Rams had just five shots, one on goal.

Down the stretch, the Flyers were unable to take advantage of their opportunities and for the third straight game, Dayton was heading to overtime.
