Loud section of Maverick fans below the Morrison Stadium press box. Both sides looked more fired up than usual. Should be a fun night.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 5, 2016

Both sides said the right things about wanting a clean match. If it's anything like the rivalry on the women's side that won't last long.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Dangerous chance in the box on a counter attack by UNO, but Maverick midfielder Mark Moulton was offside.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

So far UNO has been only side to threaten in the box. Jays have had some sloppy giveaways. Especially when they've tried to play wide.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Goal by #UNO — Fazlo Alihodzic clanks one in off the near post on a free kick from the left flank. 1-0, Mavericks, 32:21 left in 1st half.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

UNO's Denzel Woods with a hard tackle on Myles Englis in the box. Joseph Ghitis stuffs the PK from Lucas Stauffer to keep the Mavs up 1-0.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Some lazy passes by Creighton's back line have almost been costly. Hard to recall if they've connected even one or two passes all night.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Ricky Lopez-Espin gets Creighton's best chance in the run of play, but his attempt to chip the keeper sails just over the cross bar.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Noah Franke is busting his tail tonight on the wing. A couple of hard tackles on him by UNO — including one in the box — but no calls yet.

That challenge was right in front of the official. 100% that's a PK if CU doesn't already have in the books tonight. https://t.co/kLhq4YlJyD

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Creighton has a 5-2 edge in corner kicks, but UNO has been far better in the air. None of those set pieces have been dangerous.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Fazlo Alihodzic's goal on a free kick in the 13th minute sends #UNO to locker room with a 1-0 lead over #Creighton. Jays missed PK in 17th.

Almost time to start second half at Morrison Stadium. #UNO will defend in front of massive #Creighton student section. Mavs lead 1-0.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

#UNO continues to dominate in the air. Got a great header on a corner kick, snagged by Alex Kapp for #Creighton to keep it one-goal game.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

#Creighton gets the equalizer. Noah Franke sneaks a beautiful pass through the defense and Ricardo Perez beats the keeper. 1-1, 38:00 left.

Alex Kapp, while being held by a UNO attacker, gets the tip of his glove on a dangerous ball from a corner kick to turn away the Mavericks.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

#UNO misses a golden opportunity to take a late lead. Alihodzic found Elvir Ibisevic on a cross, but Ibisevic's header goes high.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Alex Kapp has been assertive in coming off his line to punch away the ball every time UNO sends one into the box.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Noah Franke finds Ricardo Perez open on the right side of the box, but the low is deflected wide over the end line. 1-1 still, 4:14 left.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Creighton would be smart to find Noah Franke as much as possible the rest of this match. He's been the Jays' catalyst all night.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

Mitch LaGro saves the match for #Creighton, intercepting a through ball attempt by #UNO. Mavericks would have had 2-on-1 against Alex Kapp.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

End of regulation: #Creighton and #UNO tied, 1-1, at Morrison Stadium.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

#Creighton pressed more for the golden goal in the first overtime period, but couldn't find the back of the net. Second OT coming up.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

@OmahaMSOC Still feuding. 2OT and on a school night 😬 pic.twitter.com/ea90O1bz5Q

UNO's defensive side is packed like a Thanksgiving turkey. They look content to get out of Morrison Stadium with a draw.

— 𝓜𝓪𝓽𝓽 𝓓𝓮𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓼 (@mjdemarinis) September 6, 2016

FT: #Creighton 1, #UNO 1. First meeting between the two D1 programs ends in a draw at Morrison Stadium. Jays move to 1-1-1 on the season.

Ricardo Perez gets the equalizer for @creightonmsoc. After 110min it's a 1-1 final score at Morrison. More t/k pic.twitter.com/epi1pFTEpl
