DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake men's soccer team kicked off its conference slate of the 2025 season on Saturday night from Mediacom Stadium and held its unbeaten record intact with a draw against Northern Illinois, 1-1.
It was a physical match from the opening whistle between the Bulldogs and Huskies as the offensive chances came at a premium. In the first half, the two teams tallied just four shots apiece. However, Drake did capitalize on one of those attempts.
In the 25th minute, Drake looked to strike first with Preston Kipnusu going on the attack and bringing the ball into the NIU defensive box.
