OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City University men battled Southern Nazarene to a 1-1 double-overtime draw Saturday on Senior Night at Stars Field.

The Stars (9-4-2, 5-2-2) outshot the Crimson Storm by a 17-7 tally in the match, and were led by seven shots by John Dill, a senior from Broken Arrow, Okla. Head coach Brian Harvey called the game a missed opportunity for the Stars.

“I think that that one game encompassed our whole season,” Harvey said. “We dominate games and yet we don't have the ability to put the ball in the net, and it's really come back to haunt us.”

Southern Nazarene got on the board first with a penalty kick goal by Ryan Allen in the seventh minute of play. OCU had a shot to tie the game in the ninth minute, when a penalty kick attempt of their own, taken by Dill, was saved by the Crimson Storm goalkeeper, Kenton Farris.

The Stars lone goal was notched in the 28th minute, when Dill booted in a direct free kick for the score to tie the game.

Both teams played the rest of the match with aggressiveness on both sides of the field, and the same held true for both overtime periods.

In the fourth and final period of the match, OCU had four shots on goal, but nothing found the mark to break the tie, and the game ended in a deadlock.

”Hopefully our luck will break when we get into the playoffs and those goals that the goalkeepers are making magnificent saves on, those shots that are hitting the post or just going wide, hopefully will go the other way for us,” Harvey said. “This team needs a little bit of luck.”

The Stars will be relying on more than luck in OCU's last regular season match. The Stars sit in third in the Sooner Athletic Conference standings, one game back from league-leading Oklahoma Baptist.

In a game that will determine final standings and pairings for the upcoming conference tournament, OCU will play host to Oklahoma Baptist on Tuesday in a 7 p.m. match at Stars Field.
