Rent Goal Lifts Men's Soccer to 1-1 Draw at Navy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Extending its unbeaten streak to four games, the Boston University men's soccer team battled Navy to a 1-1 come-from-behind draw on Saturday afternoon at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.

Junior Andrew Rent keyed the rally with a 73rd-minute goal, as the Terriers (2-2-6, 0-1-3 PL) tied the 1990 squad for most ties in program history. The Midshipmen (4-2-4, 2-0-2 PL) struck first in the 35th minute and held off BU late to claim a point in the conference standings while their unbeaten streak improved to seven games with four ties included.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Navy took the game's first three shots with senior Francesco Montali earning a save at 29:57.
  • Senior Gianluca Arlotti attempted BU's first shot at 28:32, and the Terriers later earned their first corner at 31:36 after Navy blocked Rent's shot.
  • Jason Aoyama gave the Mids the lead at 34:39 by ripping a shot from eight yards out with assistance from Jake Granados and Noah Ward.
  • Freshman Diego Rived and sophomore Kevin Torres had back-to-back shots in the final 80 seconds that led to a corner, but Navy maintained the 1-0 advantage entering the locker room.
  • Rived forced Thomas Pearson to make his first save at 46:48, and sophomore Brian Hernandez helped the Terriers earn another corner kick one minute later with a blocked shot.
  • BU kept the pressure on with three corners between 65:56 and 67:38.
  • The Terriers finally broke through at 72:34 following another corner after Rent pounced on a rebound with a quick strike set up by Rived's initial shot attempt that was blocked.
  • BU earned two more corners minutes later but was unable to get off a shot the rest of the game.
  • Navy made a late charge with four shots between the 85th and 89th minutes, but Montali stepped up with two saves to secure the draw.

  • Rived is now second on the team with two assists after he claimed his first point against Army West Point on Wednesday.
  • Montali finished with five saves, while Pearson had one stop for Navy.
