Rosenblum's late goal knots Wentworth with UNE


Box Score

BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Sophomore Taylor Rosenblum (Fairfield, Conn.) scored with 1:18 remaining in regulation to help Wentworth Institute of Technology rally for a 1-1 double-overtime draw with the University of New England in a Commonwealth Coast Conference men's soccer match played under the lights at Barbara J. Hazard Field Wednesday (Oct. 17) evening.

Rosenblum drew Wentworth (1-10-3, 1-4-2 CCC) even when his header off a cross from sophomore Adam Rhodes (Litchfield, Conn.) found the back of the net for the sophomore's first tally of the season.

UNE had opened the scoring 3:07 into the match when first-year Will Bushey (South Portland, Maine) converted a free kick from 25 yards away.

Each team had a chance to go away victorious during the two overtime periods. Wentworth senior Nick Tuttle (Pittsfield, N.H.) drilled a shot off the right post in the fifth minute of the opening extra session. Less than a minute later, UNE first-year Finn Ducker (Winslow, Maine) narrowly missed a quality opportunity wide right.

UNE sophomore goalkeeper Aidan McParland (Brockville, Ontario) and Wentworth junior Cody Gibb (Foster, R.I.) had seven saves apiece. The Leopards held slim advantages in shots (14-12), as well as corner kicks (5-3).

Both teams return to action Saturday with CCC games starting at 3:30 p.m. Wentworth hosts Nichols College, and Big Blue heads to Roger Williams University.
