Ocean City, N.J. -- Thve Brooklyn Knights still have won only once at Carey Stadium in the five years they have played here, but they did manage to come away away with a point in a tie with the Ocean City Barons Saturday night.

The Knights and Barons played to a 1-1 draw in a Premier Development game.

Brooklyn (5-1-2, 17 points), which is 1-6-2 at Carey, remained in first place in the Northeast Division. The Barons (3-0-4, 13) stayed unbeaten.


After Barons defender Tyler Bellamy was sent off in the 38th minute for pulling down Tarik Smith from behind in the penalty area, Jeff Matteo converted a penalty kick in the 38th minute, his fifth goal of the season.

Five minutes later, the Knights returned the favor, clipping Brad Franks just inside the right side of the box, giving Ocean City a spot kick of their own. Defender John Fletcher tied the game with his second goal this season.

The Knights' next game is out of the league -- as they visit the Carolina RailHawks in a Lamar Hunt/U.S. Open Cup first-round match Tuesday night.
