BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The UMass Lowell (7-6-1, 2-2-1) men's soccer team played to a 0-0 double overtime draw with the Vermont Catamounts (7-5-3, 2-1-2) on Saturday afternoon.
"Vermont is a tough team to play on the road and it showed today," said Head Coach
Christian Figueroa. "I thought we had some chances in the first half going against the wind, as well as a couple chances in the second half with the wind in our back. It was unfortunate that we could not put one away today, but to not give up a goal is a positive for us at this stage."
In the opening 45 minutes, the River Hawks tested Catamount keeper Greg Walton with four shots, including two on target. The best chance came in the 26th minute when Chase Reichenburg (Hamburg, Germany) fired a low shot that Walton stopped, but almost allowed to squeak through his legs.
Austin Kroll (Baltimore, Md.) did not make a save until the second overtime period, although he did see four shots come his way in the first half as well.
Both teams fired off three shots apiece, but a back heel attempt by
Jay Marchand (North Andover, Mass.) was the only one on target.
In the extra periods, Kroll made a save in the 102nd minute, and
Guilherme Rodrigues (Lowell, Mass.) had the visitors' lone shot on goal in the 109th minute.
Walton ended the match with four saves, and Marchard had a game-high two shots on goal.
The River Hawks wrap up their non-conference schedule against Brown at 7 p.m. on October 27.
