Riders men tie Ironbound Express, 3-3
New Hyde Park, L.I. -- The Long Island Rough Riders men needed an 11th-hour equalizer by goalkeeper Hasely Holder to salvage a 3-3 draw with the Newark Ironbound Express in a Premier Development League match at Michael Tully Park Saturday night.
Andrew Herman set up the tying goal for the Rough Riders (4-1-4, 16 points).
The Riders grabbed the lead off an Adam Himeno goal from a Tadeu Terra assist in the 33rd minute.
But a minute into the second half, Jerrod Laventure tied it up with a penalty kick.
The hosts, however, grabbed the lead again on a Ben Arikian score in the 49th minute.
The expansion Ironbound Express (4-2-4, 16) struck back only a minute later for a 2-2 deadlock on a Justin McGrath goal, off a Laventure assist.
Newark took the lead for the first time on Robert Larocca's 60th-minute tally.
The Rough Riders next play at the Brooklyn Knights (6-1-2, 20) at Aviator Field in Brooklyn, N.Y. Wednesday at 8 p.m.
