And Monday afternoon was no different as the Eagles surrendered a late goal to Mansfield and settled for a 1-1 tie in a Hockomock League contest at Sharon High.

Following a scoreless first half, senior Brad Malenich gave the Eagles a 1-0 advantage with a goal in the 24^th minute of the second half.

Unfortunately, the Hornets tied the game with three minutes remaining when Pat Khoury scored in the 37^th minute to knot the match at 1-1.

"Considering we were one man down in the game, the kids played great," said Sharon head coach Barry Kaye, whose team is 2-0-1 in its last three matches.

Following the deadlock, Sharon's record is now 2-3-3 overall and 2-1-2 in the league. The Eagles have played three 1-0 matches this fall, dropping two of them.

"Our record is really deceiving," said Kaye of his team's three ties and two one-goal defeats. "We have a good bunch of kids and they have played very well this yea
