Men's Soccer Draws at Quincy; Heads into GLVC Tournament as #3 Seed

90th minute goal saves Bearcats in finale

LEBANON, Ill. - McKendree University men's soccer(8-4-5, 8-2-4 GLVC) earned a draw to close out the regular season portion of the 2025 campaign, tying 1-1 with Quincy on Sunday afternoon behind a 90th-minute goal from freshman forward Fredrik Thulin. With the result, the Bearcats secured the #3 seed in the upcoming Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament with 28 points and an 8-2-4 finale record for the fall conference slate. The #3 seed pits McKendree up against sixth-seeded Drury with the game taking place on Sunday, November 9, at 3:30PM in Lebanon, Illinois at Leemon Field. The GLVC Tournament appearance is the Bearcats' seventh overall and third-straight postseason push since moving to NCAA Division II.

The regular season finale had the Bearcats battling on the road up in Quincy, Illinois and after an early stumble, McKendree trailed 1-0. For the remainder of the contest, the Bearcats pushed the Hawks to the brink as McKendree looked to fire the equalizer. Through the first half, the Bearcats put up four shots with two on-frame but entered the half down, 1-0. In the second half, McKendree turned up the pressure with 10 shots and four going on-frame. 

The Bearcats played in a scramble once the latter minutes arrived with a multitude of throw-ins and corner kicks coming their way to no avail initially. Then, on the final attempt for the Bearcats, sophomore midfielder Paul Moodie lined up to quickly take a corner kick which bounced around, eventually finding the head of Thulin and then the back of the net. The equalizer was scored, putting the game into a deadlock after the Bearcats trailed for nearly 87 minutes.
