BOURBONNAIS, Ill.  (UJ)  — Two second-half goals by Roosevelt University kept the University of Jamestown men’s soccer team from its first victory of the season Monday, as the two teams played to a 2-2 draw.

HOW IT HAPPENED: Jamestown (0-1-1) scored twice in the first half–a 12th minute goal by Max Gross (SR/Boeblingen, Germany), which came off an Aaron Pike (SR/Milton Keynes, England) cross from the far side, then a 42nd minute tally by Diego Valle (SR/Yucaipa, Calif.), assisted again by Pike.
