DAHLONEGA | Visiting Lenoir-Rhyne found the equalizer with a single second left in regulation as the Bears escaped Dahlonega with a 3-3 tie with the North Georgia men's soccer team (1-6-1).  The game was played in front of an overflow crowd at the UNG Soccer Complex as part of Military Appreciation and Spirit Night.

UNG's Eric Carrion broke into the scoring column for the Nighthawks with an unassisted tally in the match's 14th minute.  The score would be the lone goal of the half as it would take the Bears until the 59th minute to even the match when Connor Doherty slipped a ball past UNG keeper Victor Ohlin.

The final 14 minutes of regulation featured four goals, two by each side.  North Georgia extended the lead to 3-1 on Carrion's second goal (66:06) before Roldan Reyes scored his first goal of the year with eight minutes left. 

Lenoir-Rhyne trimmed the lead in half just 30 seconds later when Avery Johnson belted a 45-yard blast over Ohlin's head from just inside the midline. 

The Bears found the dramatic equalizer with a single tick left when Mattias Thompson collected a pass from Nicholas Sibert in the box and finished with less than two ticks remaining on the clock.

Ohlin (1-5-1) finished the night with three saves while counterpart Zach King (3-4-2) stopped seven Nighthawk shots. 

The multi-goal night from Carrion marked the forward's first two scores of the season.

The draw moves the Bears to 3-4-2 on the year.   North Georgia returns to action on Saturday (Oct. 4) with a Peach Belt Conference match with home match against Francis Marion at 7:30 p.m.
