Gulls Battle MIT To 0-0 Draw

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott men's soccer team played a hard-fought 110 minutes that ultimately ended in a 0-0 double overtime draw on Friday evening against MIT at Hempstead Stadium in both team's respective regular season openers.

The Gulls controlled play for the majority of the match and saw several close chances throughout regulation and overtime, including two great looks during the first overtime period, of which one went wide while the other required a tough save by MIT goaltender Jeremy Cowham (Quincy, Mass.).
