Philadelphia Union Academy alumnus Connor Ryan delivered the late goal for the Dragons
Villanova appeared to be on their way to a 1-0 win over Philly Soccer Six rivals Drexel in an exhibition match at Higgins Soccer Complex on Wednesday, when an unlikely hero stepped up for the visitors.
Connor Ryan, a junior midfielder who has never scored in 20 regular season appearances, pounced on a ball in the box and delivered the equalizer just before time expired off a play that began with senior goalkeeper Tyler Afflerback passing a ball in from just inside his own half.
