(EMORY, VA) – Hampden-Sydney soccer battled ODAC rival Emory & Henry College through two overtimes in a very crucial conference game resulting in a 1-1 tie. The Tigers' record comes to 2-11-2 and 0-6-2 in the ODAC while E&H remains one spot ahead of H-SC in the standings at 1-5-1 and 5-8-1 overall.

Emory & Henry jumped out to an early lead as Chris Kittleson connected on a pass from RC Horton just three minutes and 58 seconds into the game.

Hampden-Sydney struck back at 86:18 as Chris Cadogan (Raleigh, NC/Leesville Road) delivered a perfect pass to Michael Kraemer (Roanoke, VA/Cave Spring) who went one-on-one with the goalie resulting in Kraemer's third goal of the season and a 1-1 score.

Throughout the rest of regulation and two overtimes the Tigers attacked E&H relentlessly out shooting them 41-15 but were unable to capitalize, leaving the score at one apiece. Head Coach Josh Laux feels, "We definitely played our best soccer in terms of passing the ball and creating chances. It was beautiful to watch, but in the end you have to finish those chances to be a great team and we didn't do that."

Hampden-Sydney put 13 of their 41 shots on goal and had the advantage on corner kicks 7-2 while E&H was only able to put three of their 15 shots on goal. .

Looking at the rest of the season, the Tigers have just two games remaining. Hampden-Sydney will travel to Methodist for a non-conference match starting at 3 pm on Saturday, October 23rd and then return home for their final ODAC game vs. Bridgewater on Tuesday, October 26 at 4 pm.
