OSHAWA, Ont. – On a rain soaked Vaso’s Field on Sunday afternoon, the Durham College men’s soccer team managed to pull out a 3-3 draw against Seneca College.

With a tie, the Lords are right in the middle of the playoff hunt with four games remaining in the regular season. Durham is 4-1-2 on the year, trailing Seneca by two points who are at a 5-1-1. George Brown is leading the region with a 6-1-1 record, but both Seneca and Durham have a game in hand. Durham has tied George Brown and Seneca 3-3 in both meetings this year.

The three teams will be battling it out down the stretch, as they have four matches against one another to close out the regular season.
