Trailing, 3-2, Ohio Wesleyan had tied the score in the 85th minute when junior midfielder Hector Gomez (Columbus/St. Francis DeSales) converted his second penalty kick of the game.  The sequence started after a Spartan foul resulted in a 20-yard free kick.  Gomez's kick was blocked by the Spartan defense, but while following the shot, Gomez was fouled inside the penalty area.  He converted the penalty kick to knot the game at 3 with 5:49 left in the contest.
