PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Despite scoring three goals for the fourth time this season, the University of Michigan men's soccer team played to a 3-3 draw with Brown University Friday night (Sept. 13) on the first day of the Brown Invitational.

With the match tied 3-3 at the end of regulation, the Wolverines and Bears fought through a pair of 15-minute scoreless overtime periods, as neither team could put one in the back of the net.

Michigan opened the contest with an early 1-0 lead as sophomore forward Mychal Turpin (Pontiac, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit) headed in a Chris Glinski (Rochester, Minn./Lourdes HS) pass at 2:36. The goal upped Turpin's season goal total to five, tying the program's single-season record and moving him one goal closer (eight) to Knox Cameron's (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Spellman HS) program-leading nine career tallies.

The Maize and Blue held the 1-0 lead for just over 40 minutes, however, at 43:47 the Bears notched their first goal of the season when Dustin Branan netted a penalty kick to send the match into the half with the scored tied 1-1.

As the second half got underway the Wolverines again wasted no time on offense, taking a 2-1 lead with only 2:34 gone by in the second frame. Tom Gritter (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian HS) gave Michigan the one-goal lead with his first points of the season when he headed home a rebound from Kevin Robinson (Caro, Mich./Faith Baptist HS) at 47:34. The goal was the sixth of Gritter's three-year career at U-M.

Brown eventually captured its first lead of the 2002 season as the Bears took a 3-2 advantage with goals from Seth Quidachay-Swan at 50:40 and Ibrahim Diane at 74:31.

With time becoming a factor and the Bears holding a one-goal lead, Michigan's all-time leading scorer tallied is 10th career goal at 87:27. Following a Brown foul inside its 18-yard box, Cameron, the reigning Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Week, buried Michigan's first penalty kick of the year, knotting the score at 3-3.

The goal gave Cameron 10 for his career and tied him with classmate Turpin for the season goal lead as each second-year player has five tallies in 2002.

Between the pipes junior/sophomore Joe Zawacki (Livonia, Mich./Stevenson HS) made six saves in the 120-minute match.

The Wolverines return to action at the Brown Invitational on Sunday (Sept. 15), when they square off against Yale at 11 a.m. on Stevenson Field in Providence, R.I.
