Men’s Soccer Ties Anderson, 0-0, In Conference-Opener

DEFIANCE, Ohio – One hundred and ten minutes of play were not enough to determine a winner on Saturday afternoon, as the Yellow Jackets' conference-opener against Anderson University ended in a scoreless tie.  

The 0-0 tie did not reflect the tempo of the game, nor the number of offensive threats, as the two teams combined to post 37 shots in the match, and 20 shots on goal. Both defenses played with poise and discipline to keep zeros on the scoreboard through four periods of play.

Defiance has not surrendered a goal to its opponents for three-consecutive games, and now boasts a conference-best 1.00 goals against average. Goalkeeper, Sean Roberts, recorded nine saves in the game while improving his save percentage to .897 and his shutouts total to two.

Evan Allen, Tony Cornell and Jaiden Henderson led the Jackets' offense with a combined eight shots in the game, five of which were on goal.

The Yellow Jackets will complete their three-game home stand with a game against Ohio Northern University on Wednesday, September 29, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
