Box Score Columbus, OH - The Panthers close out their weekend of travel with one loss and one tie, exhausting their efforts in an endless battle with Capital University.

Just one minute and twenty-two seconds into the match, the Comets would catch the HC defensive unit on it's heels and score right away as senior forward Devon Hess found the back off an assist by junior midfielder Jacob Deever. The pressure was now on as HC had their backs against the wall, facing an 0-2 weekend.

Hanover would respond with grit and tenacity, drawing three yellow card and shutting out Capital for the rest of the game. The Panthers wasted no time pressing an attack of their own, and spent a lot of energy early on doing so. Fifteen minutes later, these efforts would pay off. At the seventeen minute and nine second mark, junior forward Omar Dizdar put one past the Comet's keeper, assisted by junior and sophomore defenders Patricio Campos and Louan Seveno.

The rest of the game was nothing short of a defensive battle, while both teams offenses had their patience tested and their approach challenged.

Freshman goalkeeper Ben Howard saw all ninety minutes action again this evening while helping the Panthers keep a talley out of the loss column.
