Box Score 

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Chris Rivet's unassisted goal in the 80th minute helped the Norwich University men's soccer team salvage a 1-1 tie versus in-state rival Castleton State College Tuesday afternoon at a rainy and cool Howard Field.

After a scoreless first half, the Spartans (5-3-1) opened the scoring in the 52nd minute when Chris Mulholland settled a loose ball near the top of the box and blasted a shot into the top right-hand corner of the net. The goal, which was Mulholland's third of the season, gave the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Norwich (4-3-2) responded at the 79:46 mark when Rivet controlled the ball on the right side of the box and fired a laser of shot into the top left-hand corner of the cage to tie the score at 1-1. It marked the third goal of the year for the senior defender.

Norwich senior M Bobby Begin had a terrific scoring opportunity near the end of the first overtime period, but his volley from 15 yards out rattled off the crossbar. The Cadets had three more shots in the second overtime, but they were unable to convert.

Castleton goalkeeper Mike Anthony made seven saves for the Spartans, while Norwich senior GK Charles Maxwell turned aside three shots for the Cadets.

NU outshot CSC 17-11 in the game, and the Cadets held a 5-1 edge in corner kicks. The game was physical throughout with 48 fouls whistled in the contest. Two Cadets received yellow cards.

The Cadets continue their five-game homestand on Saturday, Oct. 3, when they host Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) foe Albertus Magnus State College in a league match. Kickoff from Howard Field is set for 12 p.m.
