Hunter ties John Jay 2-2 in the first conference game of the year

The Hawks bounced back from an early 2-0 deficit to leave with 1 point

New York, NY-  At Randall's Island Field 70, the Hunter Hawks hosted John Jay in the first CUNYAC game for both teams this season. The game finished 2-2 after 90 minutes of play, with Hunter improving to 1-5-1 on the season. Hunter had to play 65 minutes down a player when one of the defenders was sent off after a second yellow card. Hunter will travel to Brooklyn College on Saturday, September 30th, with a noon kickoff.

Hunter was down 2-0 in the first half when John Jay scored two unanswered goals, first in the 28th minute when Kevin Luciano scored off a cross in the box. Hunter gave up a second goal at 37:15 when Kevin Cantos tipped in a cross from the right side. Junior Matthew Heimowitz faced 22 shots and made 9 saves in the game. In the second half, he made 6 saves to keep a clean sheet and keep the Hawks in the game.

In the 70th minute of the game, Bradley Espejo scored his 4th goal of the year when he beat the John Jay keeper one-on-one to cut the lead in half. Espejo played all 90 minutes and was the only Hawk field player to do so. He led the team with 7 overall shots, 4 on goal. Pushing the pressure up as the game clock ticked down, Musa Feseru scored the game-tying goal in the 86th minute of the game on his only shot of the game. The star substitute for the game had only been subbed in two minutes earlier and left his mark on the game.
