Mounties storm back to tie against Moncton

(SACKVILLE, NB) Mount Allison hosted Moncton in AUS men's soccer action under lights at Alumni Field during Mounties Homecoming weekend. The home crowd was treated to a back-and-forth affair that saw both teams earn a point in a 2-2 draw.

Mount Allison would open the scoring off a Jack Bennett (Falmouth, NS) free-kick that sailed directly into the net after a scramble in front of Moncton's keeper.

The first half would end with both sides attempting five shots each.

Moncton quickly got even in the 51^st minute as a through ball from the foot of Mohamed Babour hit a Mounties defender and found the back of the net.

The Aigles Bleus would follow that up with their second goal of the game as a scramble at the top of the box fell to Yoan Robichaud who guided a shot in the left corner of the net.

Mount Allison would respond immediately when fourth-year defender Robin Weiland (Riverview, NB) directed a rebound into the top left corner much to the thrill of the hometown crowd.

Moncton (2-2-3) will travel to Fredericton to play UNB on September 23 at 3:15 p.m.

Mount Allison (0-3-2) for their part will next play host to Memorial on September 24 at 2:15 p.m.
