Calvin came into today's contest against the visiting Bulldogs of Adrian riding a five game winning streak. The streak had put the Knights into third place in the MIAA. As the season begins to wind down, the Knights were looking to keep that streak alive. But after 90 minutes of play and two overtime periods, the score still read a 1-1 tie. 

All day long, Calvin put the pressure on the Bulldog defenders. That pressure paid off twenty minutes in when freshman Alex McKenzie (Lindenhurst, IL/Antioch) tapped it in off of a crossing pass from junior Jared Litty (Hudsonville/Hudsonville). Calvin was unable to capitalize on any more opportunities and went into halftime with a 1-0 lead. 

The second half was more of the same story as the Knights continued to fire the ball towards the Adrian net. As time was winding down, Adrian fired its first shot of the afternoon and made it count. Matt Luthardt got a piece of the ball off of a direct kick from Dusty Kendall and with just over five minutes to go, the score was tied 1-1. 

In the first overtime period, each team had a scoring chance but neither executed. The second overtime saw no shots from either team but the Knights were almost able to capitalize in the final seconds but the ball was sent flying over the net by an Adrian defender. 

Calvin outshot the Bulldogs 36-2 while Bulldog goalkeeper Ryan O'Keefe collected 12 saves. 

The Knights will play host to rival Hope College next on Saturday afternoon at 2:00.
