DELAWARE, Ohio – The Ohio Wesleyan University men's soccer team hosted Carnegie Mellon on Wednesday night, looking for their first win on the season. An early goal by OWU and late strike by Carnegie Mellon left the contest tied after regulation. 

OWU is still in search of their first win of the season, now 0-2-2 on the year. Carnegie Mellon is now 2-0-3.

The Battling Bishops started fast, as Aiden Wightman found the back of the net in the sixth minute with an assist from Jack Jennings. A strong defensive unit anchored by Gabe O'Reilly, Carson Browning, and Paddy O'Reilly then held a quality Carnegie Mellon squad scoreless up until the 88th minute. It was then that the Tartans found the net late off the leg of Idan Garten to equalize. Unfortunately, after that, time ran out for the Bishops to respond, leaving the game tied at 1-1. 

THE NUMBERS
Carnegie Mellon outshot the Bishops 11-8, with a slight 5-4 advantage in shots on goal. 

Aiden Wightman was the lone goal-scorer of the night for OWU, scoring his first of the year.

Jack Jennings tallied the first assist of his Ohio Wesleyan career. The junior transfer only took one shot on the night, but overall strengthened the Bishops' offensive front.

Others taking chances were Tristan Ruiz de Somocurcio (1 SH, 1 SOG), Aedan Costa (1 SH, 1 SOG), Alex Bucher (1 SH), and Sam Robledo (1 SH).

Sam Whitman (0-2-2) got the start in goal and played the full 90 minutes, making four saves.
