Endicott, Gordon Play to 0-0 Double Overtime Draw

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott men's soccer team battled to a 0-0 double overtime draw with Gordon in Hempstead Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams had several strong offensive pushes throughout the game but goaltenders, Will Manuel (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) and Wesley Sprague (Naperville, Ill.) were both able to come up with key saves to keep the game tied through regulation. 

Each team saw scoring opportunities in the overtimes, with Endicott's closest chance being off the foot of Evan Couchot (Mason, Ohio) at the 101:12 mark. E. Couchot sent a long, high shot that ended up hitting the crossbar and bouncing back into play where the Fighting Scots were able to clear. 

Neither team was able to find the back of the net after 110 minutes of play so the contest ended in a draw.
