WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer team hit the road as they began Sunshine State Conference play tonight at Saint Leo. The two sides finished in a 2-2 as each side earned a point and PBA's record moves to 1-1-2 on the season.

It didn't take long for the goal-scoring chances to start tonight as the Lions started the scoring with their opening attack of the match. Just over a minute into the game, the Lion's first shot beat Omar Einarson to give the home side the lead. Fortunately, the Sailfish didn't linger on the setback for long as they tied the game up with their first attack and shot of the game also. A ball over the top of the Lions backline found Agustin Iusem. Iusem was patient as he dribbled along the end line before cutting a ball back to forward Tin Vastic in the middle of the box. Vastic took a touch and put his shot past the Saint Leo keeper for his first goal of the season.

After a chaotic start, the two sides settled into the game until SLU retook the lead in the 30th minute. A Sailfish defender got caught out, stepping up as the Lions played around the Sailfish defense to score their second goal of the night. PBA outshot SLU 6-5 in the first half and had five corners to zero from the Lions but trailed 2-1 at the halftime break.

The Sailfish pushed for the equalizer throughout the second half as they controlled the play and pushed bodies forward. They were finally rewarded for their pressure in the 78th minute as Narcis Bou Dalmau was able to work his magic as he received the ball on the edge of the box. He dribbled past three defenders and fired a shot to the back post which was saved but Livio Von Holzen was there to tap the ball into an empty net to equalize. 

PBA continued to press onward looking for a third goal that would give them the win but they never created a truly threatening chance. The two sides share points in their SSC opener as statistically PBA outshot SLU 9-8 but Einarson was forced to make five saves to Saint Leo's two saves. 

After three games on the road, the Sailfish return home next weekend as they host Tampa. The Spartans are 3-1-1 on the year and 1-0 in SSC play so far with a win over Embry-Riddle.
