YONKERS, N.Y. – First-year Sinjin Mendenhall scored a pair of goals Friday, as the Gryphons men's soccer team played to a 2-2 stalemate against Yeshiva at Fleming Field.

IN SHORT
Sarah Lawrence (2-2-1, 0-0-1) tied Yeshiva (2-2-1, 0-1-1), 2-2

RECAP
For a second straight contest, Mendenhall found the back of the net for the Gryphons. The first-year scored minutes before halftime, tapping in a loose ball in the box off a free kick from Carlos Rivadeneyra.

Mendenhall gave Sarah Lawrence a 2-0 lead in the 62nd minute. Tristan Moehs played a through ball down the center of the field to Mendenhall, who took a few dribbles before blasting a shot to the far right side of the netting.

Yeshiva, picked eighth in the Preseason Poll, cut the deficit in half with a goal in the 80th minute of play. The Maccabees tied the game 2-2 in the 86th minute, forcing overtime.

In the first overtime period, each team exchanged a shot, but both goalkeepers made a stop to force an additional 10-minute overtime period.

In the second overtime, Mendenhall had a pair of attempts, but had them blocked, while Aaron Ashery made a critical stop with 21 seconds remaining to preserve the tie.

The two squads combined to take 46 shots, including 20 attempts on frame. Ashery collected six saves, highlighted by four combined stops in the second half and overtime periods.

"A tough result after a very good performance," said head coach Evan Brandsdorfer. "This is a great learning experience for us and will serve us well the rest of the year. We must use this frustration from today and bring it with us on Sunday. It was a solid first conference point of 2019 with many more to come."
