Men’s Soccer Ties No. 9 Babson, 1-1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After No. 9 Babson got on the board early in the first half, the MIT men's soccer team got a late goal by Nico Mangiafico to tie the match as the Engineers' defense held off a late push by the Beavers as the teams played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon on Roberts Field.
