Zamora’s late goal keeps Patriots alive in the Hawks’ nest

MURFREESBORO, NC – Junior forward Alvaro Zamora scored in the 73rd minute helping Francis Marion University  to a 1-1 draw on the road against 19th-ranked Chowan University, Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 13) in Conference Carolinas men's soccer play.
 
The Patriots (6-4-2, 5-0-1) return to action with their Senior Day match on Saturday against Belmont Abbey College at 7:30 p.m.  on Hartzler Field.
 
FMU maintains its hold on second place in the conference despite allowing its first score to a conference opponent this season.  The Hawks (7-2-1, 5-1-1) are also ranked third in the latest Southeast Region rankings.
 
James Randall scored in the 16th minute, concluding a nice give-and-go sequence, to give Chowan a 1-0 advantage.
 
Zamora's second goal in the last two games, and fifth of the season, came off an assist from junior forward Javier Bello and tied the match 1-1 and led to overtime play. However with eight seconds remaining in regulation, FMU junior defender John Castro looked to produce the match-winner when he headed the ball off a cross, but the attempt was saved by Chowan keeper Charlie Farrar.
 
FMU allowed the Hawks to shoot 18 times, with eight being on target. FMU totaled 10 shots with Castro, defender Sebastian Garcia, and midfielder Oliver Peters adding two shots each. Conference Carolina Defender of the Week Oier Bernaola, senior forward Nils Gulbranson, Bello and Zamora all registered one shot apiece.
 
The Patriots compiled five corner kicks to the Hawks' six.
 
FMU sophomore goalkeeper Ricardo Rossi registered seven saves, while Chowan keeper Farrar saved three shots.
