Rhode Island Goalkeeper Scores in 1-1 Tie

Despite posting an 0-1-1 record in goal for Rhode Island, goalkeeper Peyton Warwick treated fans to one of the rarest occurrences in soccer when he scored the game-tying goal in dramatic fashion against Fairfield on Saturday night. With URI trailing by a goal and just under a minute left on the clock, the Rams got a corner kick... Realizing that this would likely be Rhody’s last scoring opportunity, Warwick also went into the box – and managed to direct the bobbling corner kick into the back of net with just 36 seconds left in regulation. The game ended tied 1-1 after two overtime periods and Warwick finished with five saves.
