For the first time this season the Waterloo men's soccer team earned a point after a 1-all draw with the Brock Badgers on Sunday afternoon in St. Catharines.

In a very physical game, Waterloo took a quick 1-0 lead after Mohamed Aborig (Tripoli/) beat Brock senior goalkeeper Jake Sweetzer in the 11th minute.

In the 39th minute, Aborig was awarded a penalty kick and missed the goal wide left, which swayed the momentum in Brock's favour.

Before the end of the half Brock midfielder Sammy Orlando was handed the game's first yellow card in the 45th minute. The penalties did not stop there, as four more yellow cards were given in the second half (two to Waterloo and a pair to Brock), and was a good indication of how intense both teams were playing. 

Brock sophpmore Omar Hamadi would tie the game 1-1 in the 64th minute registering his first goal of the season. Neither team could beat the opposition's keeper after Hamadi's marker in the 64th minute, giving each of them a much-needed point.

Sweetzer was named the MVP for Brock, registering six saves for the tie. Waterloo starter Thomas Modjesch (Hateg/) collected eight saves for the Warriors and was named Waterloo's MVP of the match.

Waterloo will hope to carry the momentum into Wednesday's game against the Guelph Gryphons on the road Wednesday night.
