Boyer Scores First Collegiate Goal in Draw Versus St. Bonaventure

Sophomore Reilly Boyer netted his first collegiate goal in the 32nd minute to pace Canisius in a 1-1 draw versus Little Three rival St. Bonaventure in collegiate men's soccer action Friday evening at the Demske Sports Complex.

The draw moved the Golden Griffins' to 1-2-2 on the campaign while the Bonnies played in their first draw this season, seeing their record shift to 2-2-1.

Canisius opened the scoring when senior Inder Thind placed a pass into the box to Boyer, who deflected the ball down to junior Luke Szablewski. Szablewski then corralled the ball, touching it off to Boyer who turned and fired a shot past St. Bonaventure keeper Nicolas Pucci.
 
The Bonnies wouldn't go away, however, as the visitors connected with the equalizer in the 59th minute of the match.

Matthew Wrobel collected the feed in the box from Thomas Yegbor before putting it over Canisius keeper William Howard.

St. Bonaventure had an opportunity late to give themselves the lead, but Thind made a sliding tackle, kicking the ball out of bounds to preserve the tie.
