Then, as the match was winding down, the Barons were awarded a penalty kick that senior Jason Ford of Trincity, Trinidad and Tobago, promptly put away, thus leaving the score tied at 2-all as time expired.
As a result, the Barons put in some long hours on the practice field since the match and look to be ready to get after things on Wednesday, when they go up against Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference rival Shorter College at 7 p.m.
