SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – In a high-scoring second half, the San Francisco men's soccer team (0-0-2) tied UMKC (1-0-1) 2-2 Saturday evening at Negoesco Stadium.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

UMKC came out aggressively in the opening minutes, earning back-to-back corner kicks at 2:20 and 2:53.
Isaiah Easley produced San Francisco's first shot of the game as a low strike to the bottom right corner was kept out by goalkeeper Brandon McGaugh.
The Dons totaled four shots in the first half but failed to find the back of the net from attempts by David Raphael, Brayden Beason, and Easley.
As the match remained scoreless midway through the start of the second half, the Dons scored the game's opening goal in the 69th minute. As the play developed in the Roos' defensive end, Zane Alafranji sent a pass across the face of the goal that Bracken Serra tipped in to give the green and gold a 1-0 advantage.
San Francisco doubled its lead shortly after, as Brayden Beason scored his first collegiate goal to give the Dons a 2-0 edge.
The Roos quickly responded with two late goals in the 71st and 84th minute to erase the Dons' lead and escape with a 2-2 draw.
