LYNDON CENTER, Vt. – The Norwich University men's soccer team squandered a second half two-goal lead to tie Lyndon State 2-2 on Wednesday at the Lyndon State Varsity Athletic Field.

Freshman Eric Weir continued his recent goal-scoring surge as the midfielder tallied both goals for the Cadets.

Weir gave Norwich (5-5-2) a 1-0 lead at the 14:52 mark of the first half off an assist from sophomore Garrett Shufelt.

Weir added his second goal early in the second half to put the Cadets up 2-0. He now has four goals in Norwich's last two games.

However, Lyndon State (7-2-2) rallied to score two goals within 40 seconds starting with Phil Curll's goal off a direct kick with 6:33 left in the game.

The Hornets regained possession on the ensuing kickoff and Richie Hackett scored the equalizer off a rebound after Teague Coyle's initial shot that Norwich goalkeeper Alex Toomey turned away.

However, Toomey couldn't control the rebound and Hackett leveled the score at two.

Neither side was able to score in the two 10-minute overtime sessions and it ended in a 2-2 draw.

Toomey made seven saves for the Cadets while Lyndon State's Jason Gray stopped six shots.

The Hornets outshot Norwich 21-14.

The Cadets return home to Howard Field on Saturday when they'll host Mount Ida at 2:30 p.m. as part of a soccer doubleheader for Homecoming weekend with the women's squad who take the field at 12 p.m. against Pine Manor.
