UMSL Ties with Indianapolis

McLaurin Records Shutout with Seven Saves

St. Louis, Mo. – The UMSL men’s soccer team fought a tough Indianapolis team to a 0-0 tie on Sunday afternoon in a game that went two overtime periods without a goal being scored.

The first half was a scoreless battle, as each team had six shots in the half but neither could find the net. In the second half, Indianapolis had a majority of the shots, with 12 in the second half. UMSL goalkeeper Campbell McLaurin (Jackson, Miss./Jackson Prep) kept the Greyhounds scoreless with seven saves through the first two halves of the game, sending it to overtime. In the overtime period, neither team got a good look at the goal, as a couple of errant shots went wide on each side, and the game remained deadlocked at 0-0 for the tie after the two extra overtime periods.

The Rivermen are now 4-7-1 on the season and 2-3-1 in the GLVC. UMSL will be at home on Wednesday for a nonconference game against Rockhurst at 6 pm. The Rivermen will then be on the road next weekend for conference games at Bellarmine and at Kentucky Wesleyan.
