Fresh off being named the PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Week, senior goalkeeper
Samuel Alarcon (Madrid, Spain/Colegio el Valle II) showed exactly why on Tuesday afternoon, stopping a 75th-minute penalty kick to preserve a 1–1 draw for the Golden Knights at Post.
After Post struck first in the opening frame, Gannon rallied behind
Sverre Orten's (Orsta, Norway/Aalesund vgs) second-half equalizer, with
Jack Kenyon (London, United Kingdom/Harris Crystal Palace) and
Enzo Rekka (Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina/Gymnasium of the Catholic School Centre "Sveti Franjo") providing the setup.
Alarcon's decisive save in the closing stages ensured the Knights returned home with a hard-fought draw, moving their record to 1-1-2 on the season.
