MONTEVALLO, Ala. — The Delta State University men's soccer earned a 1–1 draw on the road against Montevallo at Varsity Field Friday night.

Montevallo struck first just three minutes into the match, but Delta State responded with poise, gradually finding their rhythm and creating quality chances throughout the contest. The breakthrough came late, as Ashton Taylor found the back of the net in the 89th minute, finishing a well-placed pass from Santi Rossi to level the score at 1–1.

Goalkeeper Mason Baglio was outstanding between the posts, recording nine saves, including several critical stops in the second half that kept the Statesmen within striking distance.

Offensively, Delta State registered 10 total shots with three on target, while their defense tightened in the closing stages to deny Montevallo any late opportunities. Braden Taylor, Alfie Lally, and Matthew Nicklas each contributed to the attacking effort with multiple attempts.

The Statesmen will wrap up their season with a trip to Montgomery, Ala., Sunday afternoon to take on the Warhawks from Auburn University-Montgomery at 3:30 p.m. CT.
