RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State men's soccer (5-5-5, 1-3-3 ACC) ends its home season with a 1-1 draw against Stanford (8-3-3, 1-3-3 ACC) Saturday night at Dail Scoffer Field.
After a scoreless first half, Stanford broke through in the 71st minute to take the first and only lead of the match.
The Wolfpack responded quickly. In the 77th minute, Aidan Payne found the back of the net for his team-leading eighth goal of the season, with Tyler Caton and Oriol Comas earning assists to even the score at 1-1.
NC State continued to apply pressure late in the match, finishing with 61% possession and six second-half corner kicks.
The Pack recorded 15 total shots and limited Stanford to one in the opening 45 minutes before the Cardinals generated eight more after halftime.
Neither team was able to find a game-winning goal in the final minutes of the match.
Before the game, seven seniors, Lawson Abass, Emauel Adou, Josh Gordon, Tyler Caton, Brendan Peeples and Caden Tolentino were recognized for their hard work and dedication to the program during their time as members of the Wolfpack.
