Mahone Nets Equalizer for SXU in 1-1 Draw vs. USF

CHICAGO – Fifth-year senior forward Dorian Mahone (Carol Stream, Ill./Willowbrook) scored the game-tying goal in the 79th minute for the Saint Xavier University men's soccer team (5-6-1/1-1-1 CCAC) in a 1-1 draw with University of St. Francis (Ill.) in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) action Saturday afternoon at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field in Chicago, Ill. Mahone headed in a pass from redshirt junior midfielder Saul Lagunas (Midlothian, Ill./Bremen) for his second goal of the season. The Cougars outshot the Fighting Saints 19-15 on the afternoon with Mahone coming away with a match-high seven shot attempts and five shots on goal in 83 minutes of play.
  • Lagunas played the full time, earning his second assist of the year.
  • Junior forward Americo Castaneda (Blue Island, Ill./Mount Carmel) tallied three shots on goal on three attempts in 72 minutes on the pitch.
  • Senior midfielder/forward Yael Diaz (Chicago, Ill./Moraine Valley/Hubbard) had three shot attempts and one shot on goal while logging 90 minutes.
  • Redshirt senior goalkeeper Daniel Martinez (Cicero, Ill./Morton East) collected four saves, moving his record to 3-6-1 in goal for SXU.
  • Mahone had a shot on goal in just the second minute that was saved.
  • Saint Xavier added three more shot attempts, one on goal by Castaneda, over the next seven minutes before USF took its first shot in the 10th minute.
  • Martinez made three of his saves in the first half, and Saint Xavier had a 9-7 shot advantage, with the score even at 0-0 at halftime.
  • St. Francis tallied the first goal of the match in the 50th minute on a shot from in front of the goal.
  • A pass by Lagunas from the left side found Mahone, who streaked in front of the net to head in the equalizer.
  • A flurry of action over the next two minutes saw two corner kicks by the Cougars, three shot attempts, and two saves eight seconds apart, with a shot by Castaneda that was stopped just before it had a chance to cross the goal line.
  • Both teams had chances for the go-ahead goal in the final 10 minutes, but neither squad was able to net the winner.
