HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men's soccer controlled the match for most of the 90 minutes and drew with UMass 1-1 at Burnham Field. Trenton Blake scored his second goal of the season in the 78th minute to level the match against the Minutemen.

After tonight's result, the Big Green is 3-4-4 this season, while UMass is 4-6-3. The match was Dartmouth's final nonconference contest of the season.

Dartmouth played its brand of soccer throughout the match, earning the draw against a formidable side in UMass. The Big Green outshot the Minutemen 18-6 and held a 14-0 advantage in corners. Dartmouth has been awarded 24 corners in its last two matches.

The first half went scoreless as neither side could break through the other's backline. Dartmouth fired seven first-half shots and allowed only three by UMass, none of which were on goal.
UMass opened the scoring in the 65th minute to take a 1-0 lead.

After UMass went in front, Dartmouth turned up the pressure, tilting the field in its favor.

The Big Green knocked on the door throughout the second half and found the game-tying goal 13 minutes after UMass went in front.

After a scramble inside UMass's 18-yard box, the ball eventually found its way to Blake, who did the rest. He curled a right-footed shot that beat the UMass keeper on the far side of the goal. Eli Granda recorded the assist, his first of the season, while Blake notched his second goal.
