Soccer Battles DMA in Two Thrilling Overtime Halves

"Over the course of 100 minutes, the boys soccer teams from Archmere and Delaware Military Academy had little left to give, and they walked off the turf at Fusco Field, fittingly, with a 1-1 draw. While scoring was at a premium, this match had plenty of action throughout."
On September 28th on DMA's Fusco Field, Archmere earned their first corner kick in the 18th minute, and it paid dividends. Alex Passehl '24 lofted the inbounds pass toward the post, and Karol Diaz '24 jumped and sent a header past the DMA goalkeeper. In the 32nd minute the Seahawks answered with their own goal, and from then on the game was a thrilling back and forth battle for the goalies.

Stalled at 1-1, the game went into its first overtime. Archmere had a free kick from 20 yards, but the goalie was able to make a save, and the rebound was fired off the left post. The Seahawks thought they may have scored a minute later, but the play was stopped for offsides. The second overtime was also scoreless.

On what would be the final play of the game, Archmere goalie Kyle Zahnow '23 made another one-on-one stop before the referee pointed to midfield and blew his whistle three times.

Kyle Zahnow '23 had 13 saves for the Auks, who are now 3-2-1. They will host St. Elizabeth on Saturday at 1 p.m. on the lower turf field as part of Homecoming weekend.
