SOUTH HADLEY — At the half, it looked as if the Frontier Regional boys soccer team had everything under control. The Redhawks had peppered South Hadley goalie Noah Carillon throughout the entire first 40 minutes, and controlled much of the possession.
Matt Gillis had other plans.
The Tigers senior buried an unassisted goal in the second half to tie the game at one apiece, which would wind up as the final score as Frontier and South Hadley battled to a draw on Tuesday afternoon in South Hadley.
Henry Pleasant put the Redhawks on the board first, finding the back of the net on a sweet goal that got past Carillon about 10 minutes into the game.
In goal, Jack Cusson stopped six shots for Frontier, while Carillon passed nearly all of the 11 tests that came his way — making 10 saves for the Tigers.
South Hadley (2-4-2) is off the rest of the week and will play on the road against Springfield Central next Monday at 4 p.m.
Frontier (5-2-1) will have Wednesday off before traveling to Belchertown on Thursday for a 4 p.m. contest with the Orioles.
