THE LEAD:
The University of Hartford men's soccer team opened its road schedule with a 1-1 double-overtime draw against Saint Joseph's on Tuesday Night. Freshman Rasmus Karlsson netted the equalizer in the 28th minute for his first career goal.  

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The Hawks came out swinging in the first five minutes, taking a pair of corner kicks and a missile that went wide of the net from Xahne Reid.
• Saint Joseph's Matt Crawford took advantage of a foul in the 10th minute, scoring on a penalty kick to make it 1-0.
• The Hawks went on the offensive in the 28th minute. Off a corner kick from Reid, senior Mike Berry got a quality look at the net, just hitting the post. Karlsson quickly responded, scoring a header off a pass from Aitor Elena to net his first career goal just seconds later.
• Sophomore keeper Jimmy Slayton came up big in the second half, recording three saves in the span of eight minutes.  
• Both teams had several chances down the stretch to break the tie, including a shot from senior Andre Morrison in the closing minute of double overtime that was saved by Saint Joseph's keeper Trevor Nicol.   

INSIDE THE NUMBERS & NOTES:

• Saint Joseph's finished with the advantage in shots (10-6), but Hartford held the advantage in corner kicks (6-4).
• Slayton finished with four saves.

• Karlsson became the second Hawk is as many games to net his first career goal, as Gael Kisombe found the back of the net in the opener.
