MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Sophomore Nick King finished a cross from freshman Matt Thorsheim in the 85th minute, lifting the Bucknell men's soccer team to a 1-1 draw at Robert Morris on Saturday afternoon. King's second tally of the season helped the Bison rescue a point in the first of a four-game road trip.

A goal on the rebound was waved off for offsides. Robert Morris also cleared a ball off the line late in regulation when it was still a 1-0 game.
Bucknell cashed in with 5:48 remaining, when Thorsheim's low cross was one-timed home by King. It was Thorsheim's second assist of ther season, both coming on goals by King.
The Bison have another non-conference road game on Tuesday at St. Peter's before opening up Patriot League play at Lafayette next Saturday.
