Loggers Play To Scoreless Draw With #24 Pirates

SPOKANE, Wash. - For the second straight day, the Puget Sound Loggers found themselves in a scoreless tie and for the second straight match, the Loggers held off their opponents in the extra minutes, playing to a 0-0 draw with the 24th-ranked Whitworth Pirates in a Northwest Conference men's soccer match on Sunday in Spokane, Wash.

In the first 90 minutes, the Loggers only had one significant offensive chance but it could have been the game-winner as senior Cole Peterson (Great Falls, Mont./C.M. Russell) got his head on a Logger corner kick in the 36th minute and the ball clanged off the crossbar. 

The Pirates dominated the shots category during regulation, outshooting the Loggers, 12-1, but freshman keeper Chris McDonald (Newton, Mass./Noble & Greenough) had an outstanding match for the second straight day, making five saves in regulation to force the extra period.

In the extra 20 minutes, the Loggers again had an opportunity early to collect the win as Alex Lehecka (Burlington, Wash./Burlington-Edison) fired off a shot just 31 seconds into extra time but Brian Sherpe got in front of it for Whitworth's only save of the contest.  The Bucs fired off seven shots in overtime but only one of those was on goal and McDonald made the save to collect his sixth save of the afternoon.

The Loggers will be back in action on Saturday afternoon when they return home to play host to Willamette.
