WESTMINSTER, Md. - First-year
Joseph Arthur tied the game with less than 10 minutes remaining as the McDaniel College men's soccer team earned a 1-1 draw at No. 8 Dickinson on Saturday at Miller Memorial Field.
By earning one point in the conference standings, the Green Terror (7-4-4, 2-2-4 CC) are tied for the sixth and final spot in the 2025 Centennial Conference Men's Soccer Championship with Washington College with one game remaining.
However, as a results of today's tie, McDaniel owns the tiebreaker against the Shoremen who lost to the first-place Devils, 2-0 on the same field back on Sept. 27. The Green Terror and Shoremen tied 1-1 in Chestertown on Sept. 20.
Following a scoreless first half, Dickinson (10-0-7, 4-0-4 CC), unbeaten in 17 games this season, struck first in the 78th minute against sophomore
Joseph Peloquin who was making second appearance this season and second of his career.
With the game tied at 0-0, Peloquin entered in relief of junior
Tate Roth who was issued a red card in the 73rd minute. Roth, who ranks second in the conference in shutouts, fourth in goals against average, and fifth in saves, had stopped all four Red Devil shots on goal up to that point, including three in the first half.
Dickinson welcomed Peloquin with four shots in his first four minutes before scoring on an goal by the Green Terror with 12:04 to play.
Following another shot by the Red Devils, McDaniel earned its lone corner kick of the game and took advantage as senior
Noah Rodriguez found McArthur for his second goal of the season to tie game at 1-1 just 4:20 later.
It was McArthur's first goal since a 3-0 win at Penn State Altoona in the season opener. Meanwhile, Rodriguez picked up his seventh assist of the season, the most by a Green Terror in the last six season since Nick Starr had seven in 2019. It was also the 10th career assist for Rodriguez.
Dickinson totaled 27 shots to just two for the visitors, but had just six on goal.
McDaniel has the week to prepare for a crucial regular season finale against Franklin & Marshall at home next Saturday, Nov. 1 on Senior Day. Kickoff from the Soccer Complex is at 2 p.m. Prior to the game, the team will honor its seven seniors in Rodriguez,
Conor O'Brien,
Carver Neary,
Jake Kegley,
Conor Najera,
Chase Osborn, and
AJ Nordone.
