New Haven, Conn. - In a game that seemed destined for the Panthers' first loss of 2019, the No. 1 Adelphi University men's soccer team scored in the final seconds of regulation in what was an eventual 1-1 tie with Southern Connecticut State University in a Northeast-10 Conference tilt Tuesday night at Jess Dow Field.

The Panthers, who entered the match with a 1-2-1 record in their last four matches on the road at SCSU, were locked in a scoreless tie for much of the contest, until the Owls broke through with the game's first goal with 3:32 remaining.

Adelphi (7-0-1, 3-0-1 NE10), which hadn't lost since last season's national quarterfinal, turned up the offensive intensity and pushed its entire 11-man front forward to try and find the equalizer.

With the clock's final minute winding down, Tommy Speed sent a throw-in towards the net that caromed to the feet of Taylor Kaczynski, who put a shot past the outstretched arms of SCSU freshman keeper Andrey Carvalho with 24 seconds left.

While the first overtime period was uneventful, Adelphi nearly came away with the game-winner in the second extra session.

In a play that mirrored his game-winner Saturday against Southern New Hampshire University, Paolo Marciano bent a free kick just wide of the right post at the midway mark of the period. Kaczynski was also denied by Carvalho earlier in the second overtime, ending the match in a 1-1 tie.

Southern Connecticut (2-2-4, 1-2-2 NE10) led 6-2 in shots after a scoreless first half, but Adelphi swarmed its opposition with shots in the final 45 minutes, outshooting its opposition, 11-5. The Panthers had the first six shots of the second half, before the Owls registered their first shot of the period in the 73rd minute.

Head Coach Gary Book and the Panthers are back in action Saturday (Oct. 5), when they host Saint Michael's College in an NE10 clash at Motamed Field at 1 p.m. in Garden City, N.Y.
