Men's Soccer Ties Conference Game Against Rockhurst

The McKendree University men's soccer team tied a Great Lakes Valley Conference game against Rockhurst 0-0 on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. 
 
How It Happened 
 
Both teams would have chances within the last 10 minutes of regulation to take the lead. Eddie Davis (Arundel, England/Amersham College) missed a shot wide right of the net in the 82nd minute and Rockhurst missed a shot high right in the 86th minute.
 
In the 107th minute of overtime, James Stone (Eastbourne, England/Bede's Sixth Form College) would get a shot off, but it was saved by the Rockhurst goalkeeper.
 
With the tie, the Bearcats record is 3-2-2. 
 
Behind The Boxscore
 
McKendree put up seven shots to Rockhurst's 11. Of those seven shots, two would be on goal. Three of Rockhurst's 11 shots would be on goal.
 
In net was Alvaro Cortazar (Asuncion, Paraguay/STJ). He would save three shots on the day and earn his fourth shutout on the season.
 
Coaches Quote
 
"It felt a little bit like our game against the University of Illinois-Springfield a couple of weeks ago," head coach Scott Gyllenborg said. "We were not good in the first half; we didn't take advantage of opportunities we had. The second half and overtime were better. As I've said before, you can't perform poorly for 45 minutes and expect a win. I don't think a tie here is bad. They're defensively organized, they play hard, and we had opportunities to score, we just didn't a complete game." 
 
Up Next
 
McKendree will be back in action on Sunday, March 21. against Southwest Baptist at 2:30 p.m. in Bolivar, Mo.
