HARTFORD – In a frustrating offensive day for both
sides, the Trinity College Bantams and the Tufts University Jumbos
battled to a 0-0 tie after two overtime periods in New England
Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) men's soccer action this
afternoon on Campus Field.
For Tufts, the stalemate ends a three-game losing streak. The
Jumbmos move to 4-5-2 on the year and 2-2-2 in the conference. They
are currently sixth in the league. Seventh-place Trinity moves to
5-5-1 on the season and 2-4-1 in the league.
Missed opportunities were the story of the day, highlighted by a
late chance for the Jumbos in the later stages of the second half
when freshman forward Jono Edelman
(Memphis, TN) lured Trinity junior goalkeeper Grant Schonberg
(Mendham, NJ) out of the net and slipped a shot by him, but Trinity
freshman defender Andrew Mcnair (Westport, CT) would win a sprint
with the ball to the goal line to change the destiny of its path
with a sliding kick save.
Schonberg matched Tufts junior goalkeeper Alan
Bernstein (Wayne, NJ) save-for-save, as each made several key
stops on their opponent's scoring chances. Schonberg finished
the game with nine saves for the Bantams, while Bernstein made
eight stops in the evenly matched game. The shutout was Bernstein's
third of the year.
Trinity has gone to overtime in four straight matches, and in
five games this season. The Bantams hold a 1-3-1 record in
overtime games. The Jumbos are now 0-2-2 in overtime games this
fall.
