Kameron Kist’s Late Penalty Kick Goal Lifts Big Red Over Kenyon 2-1

Granville, Ohio - In the first conference game of the season, the Denison Big Red were able to outlast the Kenyon Owls 2-1 thanks to a penalty kick goal from Kameron Kist in the 79th minute. Denison improves their record to 9-0-1, while Kenyon falls to 4-2-4.

The Big Red would get on the offensive attack early, rattling off four shots early but could not find the back of the net. Both teams would start the game off scrappy as well, as eight fouls and a yellow card were issued in the first 35 minutes. 

Just after the yellow card was called, senior midfielder Kameron Kist would score his first of two goals on the day to break the scoring open and put the Big Red up 1-0.

Denison held a 9-4 shot advantage in the first half, and both teams had two corner kicks a piece. 

Kenyon would not trail for long into the second half, as at the 55th minute mark Joey Nigro found Jack Commandeur for the equalizer to make it 1-1.

Both teams traded shots but could not break the tie, until in the 78th minute, a foul was called on Kenyon in the penalty area, which resulted in a penalty kick for the Big Red. Kameron Kist would line up for the shot and drill it, giving the Big Red a late 2-1 lead. It was Kist's sixth goal of the season, which leads the team.

Kenyon would get a shot off in the final minutes, but first-year Alex Provost made the big save, and the Big Red would hold on to win 2-1.

The Big Red were outshot 7-4 in the second half, and the Owls held a 2-0 advantage in corner kicks as well. A total of 17 fouls and six yellow cards were called in the game, proving to be a chippy battle.

Provost finished the day with six saves, and this is only the second time the Big Red have been scored on all season.

Up next for the Big Red

The Big Red will stay in Granville next Wednesday, October 8, at 7 pm to take on The College of Wooster at Kienzle-Hylbert Stadium.
