Box Score

WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Otterbein University began its 2012 Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) schedule with a draw Saturday afternoon, coming from behind to fight for a 2-2 tie with visiting Baldwin Wallace University.

Otterbein now sits at 4-4-1 overall, while the Yellow Jackets move to 5-2-2 on the season, 0-1-1 in the league.

Baldwin-Wallace got on the board first, using an own goal by Otterbein to assume a 1-0 advantage just before halftime.

Otterbein drew even almost immediately after the intermission when senior captain Dusty Kiaski finisheda penalty kick opportunity.

The Jackets countered less than two minutes later, getting a goal from Bill Gamble off a scrum in the box to take the 2-1 edge.

The host Cardinals continued to fight, eventually drawing even yet again when senior Aaric Milligan found his way to a cross into the box off the foot of Kiaski. The Orville native converted a sliding shot to the right corner to make the match 2-2 with 14 minutes and change to play.

Neither side was able to score over the remainder of regulation as the match headed for overtime. Both teams saw a good chance in the second OT session, with Kiaski just missing wide left on a free kick and BW hitting the right post on a shot attempt.

BW held a 20-7 shot advantage for the match while also holding an 8-3 edge in the corner-kick department.

Junior Kyle Ripma finished with six saves between the pipes for Otterbein, with Ryan Hulings recording two in the Yellow Jacket net.
