ITHACA, N.Y. - The Cornell mens soccer team played to a draw with Ivy League foe Brown by a score of 1-1 on Saturday afternoon at Berman Field. Freshman forward Alex Harris extended his point streak to five with his goal in the 18th minute. The Big Red moved to 3-2-2, while the Bears shifted to 2-4-2.

The first goal came 18 minutes into the contest when Matthew Goncalves intercepted Brown goaltender Henrik Weiper's attempt to throw the ball into play, sparking a two-versus-one break. Goncalves found Ivy League points leader Harris streaking across the field for the opening tally of the contest.

Brown capitalized on a costly penalty in the box, which allowed Brown goals leader Dadzie Kojo to knot the game up on a penalty kick in the second half. Junior forward Danny Loko would attempt a pair of grade-A shots late in the second period, sending both wide. 

The clock wound down seconds after the Big Red attempted a corner to no avail, leaving the count at 1-1.

"We played very well in the first 45 and created some good chances," said John Smith, the Dr. Daniel P. Wood Head Coach of Men's Soccer. The Big Red led the shots category 7-0 in the first half, and 12-3 for the entirety of the game.

"Brown did a good job during the first 15 minutes of the second half in putting us under pressure. After that, we began to create again but couldn't find the winner."
