Boston University men\u2019s soccer (2-2-6, 0-1-3 PL) came back from down one to earn a 1-1 draw against the Midshipmen of the Naval Academy (4-2-4, 2-0-2 PL) on Saturday in Annapolis, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we showed really good character and resiliency,\u201d BU Head Coach Kevin Nylen said. \u201cIt was a good point against a really good team here tonight at Navy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last time out, BU tied 2-2 with Army in a closely matched game where the Terriers found offensive production. The goal for the Terriers against Navy continued the offensive output displayed last time out. They combined this with an air-tight defense on Saturday, which the Terriers have displayed for large parts of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, they found themselves a goal down after the Mids\u2019 Jason Aoyama scored off of a Jake Granados assist in the 35th minute, giving Navy the lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t play well in the first half and Navy were better than us,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cWe can\u2019t afford to give away 45 minutes in a conference game at this point in the season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being down, BU looked set to strike back as it had seven corners in the second half compared to Navy\u2019s zero. A bright spot for BU was freshman forward Diego Rived, who managed to muster four shots for the Terriers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDiego had a good performance today,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cHe has come off the bench more than he has started but he has provided us with some really good depth and today was another really good performance by him.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU continued to probe the Navy goal and finally got their breakthrough when Andrew Rent scored off of a Rived assist in the 73rd minute to level the scoreline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy for [Rent] to get his first goal of the season,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cHe has done a lot of work for us this season, so hopefully he keeps kicking on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BU\u2019s six draws this year, which is partially thanks to a NCAA rule change that eliminated overtime for regular season games, mark a program record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BU will look to end a run of four draws in a row next time out on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Nickerson Field against Harvard.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
