ST. CATHARINES, Ont. – For the first time all season, the Brock men's soccer team picked up a point on their home field, drawing the Waterloo Warriors 1-1 on Sunday. The Badgers improve to 0-5-3 with the tie.

In a very physical game, Waterloo took a quick 1-0 lead after Mohamed Aborig beat Brock senior goalkeeper Jake Sweetzer in the 11th minute.

In the 39th minute, Aborig was awarded a penalty kick and missed the goal wide left, which swayed the momentum in Brock's favour.

Before the end of the half Brock midfielder Sammy Orlando was handed the game's first yellow card in the 45th minute. The penalties did not stop there, as four more yellow cards were given in the second half (two to Waterloo and a pair to Brock), and was a good indication of how intense both teams were playing. 

Brock sophpmore Omar Hamadi would tie the game 1-1 in the 64th minute registering his first goal of the season. Neither team could beat the opposition's keeper after Hamadi's marker in the 64th minute, giving each of them a much-needed point.

Sweetzer was named the MVP for Brock, registering six saves for the tie. Waterloo starter Thomas Modjesch collected eight saves as Waterloo added their first point of the season.

The draw snapped a five-game home losing streak for the Badgers dating back to last October. Their next chance to move up in the OUA standings comes next Saturday at Guelph, before returning home Sunday to host York.
