ST. LOUIS — Saint Louis University and North Florida played to a 1-1 draw Tuesday night in nonconference men’s soccer at Robert R. Hermann Stadium.
The Billikens broke the scoreless tie in the 55th minute. Guilherme Gomes drew a foul inside the penalty area, and Alander Soares converted the resulting penalty kick for his third goal of the season.
SLU held the lead for nearly 30 minutes before North Florida’s Omar Trto scored the equalizer in the 85th minute. Trto later received a straight red card in the 89th minute, leaving the Ospreys with 10 players for the closing moments.
The Billikens finished with a 9-6 edge in total shots, a 4-2 advantage in shots on goal and a 6-1 margin in corner kicks. SLU goalkeeper Lucas McPartlin made one save. North Florida goalkeeper Luciano Natoli recorded three.
The result moved Saint Louis to 6-4-4 overall and 4-1-1 in Atlantic 10 play. North Florida, which has clinched the ASUN regular-season title, moved to 10-4-3.
Saint Louis returns to conference action Saturday, Oct. 24, when Loyola Chicago visits Hermann Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
