The Basics
Saint Louis and VCU played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night at Robert R. Hermann Stadium. The game was played as a nonconference match as the two teams were not scheduled to play during the Atlantic 10 Conference season.

The Billikens move to 1-3-3 overall, while VCU goes to 2-5-1.

The Billikens were aggressive from the beginning, starting with a Saadiq Mohammed chance in the fifth minute that VCU's Pierre Gardan made a nice save on.

SLU got on the board in the 18th minute when Constantin Heider scored directly off a corner kick. He curled the ball in for his first collegiate goal and gave the Billikens the 1-0 early advantage.

That remained the score until the 73rd minute when VCU's Rafael Santos tallied the equalizer. Off a dead ball from the top of the box, Santos buried a shot to the left side to make it a 1-1 game.

Sascha Otte made six saves for the Billikens, including a dazzling stop at the end of the first overtime to keep it a tied game.  

With an attendance of 5,439, tonight's match was the fifth-largest attended game in NCAA men's soccer so far this seaosn.
