OTTAWA, Kan. – Zac Wilson's equalizer in the 86^th minute helped the Ottawa University men's soccer team draw level late in regulation, finishing in a 1-1 tie against the Friend Falcons on Saturday afternoon at AdventHealth Field.

Down 1-0 and with just a few minutes left, Wilson's goal to tie the game in the 86^th minute was one of pure hustle and determination. It all started with Francisco Arrua earning the Braves a free kick in the midfield. Jack Hatswell took the free kick, sending the ball about 40 yards into the box. Wilson's initial header went straight up into the air, but he was able to track the ball and get up for a second header that found the back of the net.

The Braves played majority of the second half down one goal, following a penalty kick awarded to Friends in the 46^th minute. Juan Zamora stepped up to the penalty spot and converted to put the Falcons up 1-0.

Both teams had several chances in the first half but were missing that missing touch of quality in the final third. The Braves had a hard time hitting frame in the first half, with only shot on goal that forced a save from Falcons' keeper Felipe Garcia. A solid performance from OU goalkeeper Gage Powers allowed the Braves to hang around and eventually tie the game, with Powers making 10 saves in the contest.

Up Next: The Braves head to Southwestern on Wednesday for an 8 p.m. kickoff.
