KANSAS CITY, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Men's Soccer and Rockhurst University battled to a 1-1 tie Sunday afternoon in Springfield, Illinois. The Screaming Eagles has a 3-3-1 record at the end of today's action, while Rockhurst is 1-4-3 this season.

Both overtimes would continue much as regulation did the Eagles and Hawks battling to a draw. Rockhurst had a 3-1 advantage in shots in overtime, while the teams were even in corner kicks, 1-1.
