ERIE, Pa. – No. 4 Mercyhurst College and Lock Haven University battled to a 1-1 double-overtime draw Tuesday afternoon after LHU's Paul Brungard scored the equalizer in the 84th minute to force the extra time. 

Brungard connected on his only shot of the game from a corner kick that featured plenty physical play in front of the Lakers' net. 

The first overtime period featured excellent chances for both teams, with the Lakers (9-0-2, 2-0-2) holding a 4-2 advantage in shots and a 2-0 edge over Lock Haven (4-5-3, 3-2-2) in corner kicks. 

Mercyhurst's Christoph Hampel had one of the Lakers best chances for a score in the extra session when he found himself along near the Bald Eagles goalie Travis Hall but saw his shot just chip over the keeper. Hall would make two saves while counterpart Diego Gustin recorded a save in his only real threat of the stanza. 

In the second, the neither team posted a shot on goal and Mercyhurst held the edge in shots at 3-1.
The Lakers held the lead and possession for a majority of the game after striking quickly to open the contest. Alex Manea found the back of the net at 13:15 after rifling a shot from the touch of Dean Atkins. 

Mercyhurst had great possessions in the first half and the defense limited the Bald Eagles to just two shots in the opening stanza. However, in the second half Lock Haven registered three corner kicks and six shots. 

Next up for the fourth-ranked Lakers is a non-conference tilt at Molloy on Oct. 15. Game-time is set for 2 p.m.
