HANOVER, N.H. — The University of men's soccer program (4-6-3) tied Dartmouth, 1-1, at Burnham Field on a rainy Tuesday afternoon.
Despite only recording one shot on goal, Samuel Theiss connected in the 65th minute, scoring his second goal of the season.

Junior keeper Dean Linden had an impressive afternoon, making four saves, including two game saving punches in the second half.
