Toledo, OH---A first half goal had the Express up 1-0 on No. 7 Schoolcraft until a late goal prevented an upset and forced a tie.

Glenroy Miller continued his sensational start to the season with his seventh goal in four games as the sophomore put one in top right corner of the net on a free kick following a Schoolcraft foul at the 28:30 mark of the match.

The score would remain the same until Schoolcraft's Adrian Tash scored 88:23 into the match.

Both teams had chances at scoring in two OT sessions, but neither team put the ball in as the game ended in a tie.

The Express played without three of their top players - Novak Vuk Janicic, Juavanie Cole and Troy Watson - so the outcome provides some hope for future matchups. Cole had received a red card against Ancilla College two days ago and had to sit out this matchup.

Owens (2-1-1) will hit the road this weekend. On Saturday, they will take on the College of DuPage at 3 p.m. before battling Lincoln Land Community College on Sunday at 12 p.m.
