RMU Remains Undefeated in Conference Play After Tying Oakland

ROCHESTER, Mich. – The RMU men's soccer team battled to a 1-1 draw at Oakland on Saturday evening. With the result, the Colonials move to 4-2-6 overall and remain unbeaten in Horizon League play at 2-0-4.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
After early chances from Royie Rahamim and Fabian Overkamp, Oakland was the first to find the scoresheet.
 
In the 28th minute, Gabriel Baylon struck from distance for his first goal of the season, giving the Golden Grizzlies a 1-0 advantage.
 
Oakland continued to press late in the first half, but goalkeeper Josh Lane stood tall, making three saves in the final eight minutes to keep it a one-goal game.
 
The Colonials found the equalizer in the 60th minute. Off a long throw-in from Jaxson Lee, midfielder Victor Koah rose above the defense and headed home the tying goal.
 
Play was halted in the 75th minute due to lightning, causing a delay of more than an hour. When action resumed, both sides pushed for the go-ahead goal.
 
Rahamim and Overkamp each had close-range headers sail just over the bar, while Oakland managed four more shots in the rain—all either off target or stopped by Lane. After a hard-fought 90 minutes (plus delay), the match ended 1-1.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Oakland outshot RMU 17-12, including a 5-4 edge in shots on goal.
  • The Golden Grizzlies earned five corner kicks to the Colonials' three.
  • Six Colonials—Overkamp, Lee, Gorbell, Hadran, Bejarano, and Koah—played the full 90 minutes.
  • Lane finished the night with four saves.
 
LEE'S LONG THROW
For the fourth time this season, RMU has scored off a long throw-in from Jaxson Lee. His four assists lead the team and rank tied for second in the Horizon League.
 
THE TABLE
With Cleveland State defeating Detroit Mercy, the Vikings move into first place in the Horizon League standings. Purdue Fort Wayne suffered its first loss of the season, falling 1-0 to Green Bay. RMU's draw puts the Colonials in third place, joining Cleveland State as the only two teams still unbeaten in conference play.
 
UP NEXT
RMU returns home for its final regular season home match on Saturday, October 25 at 12:00 PM, hosting Milwaukee at the North Athletic Complex. Senior Day festivities will take place prior to kickoff.
