GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Despite nine shots on goal the Green Bay men's soccer team tied IPFW on Sunday afternoon 0-0, as either team was able to find the back of the net at Hefner Field.
Green Bay stays at .500 on the year with a 3-3-2 record, after putting nine shots on goal before coming away empty. The game marked the first time this season that the Phoenix did not score a goal.
In all, the Phoenix outshot IPFW 20-7, including 11-2 in shots on goal. Goalkeeper Dani Alvarado (Leander, Tex.) needed just two saves to secure the shutout as his defense was in top form.
The Phoenix did threaten with six corner kicks while the Mastodons logged just one. Green Bay did receive three yellow cards in the game as the two teams combined for 26 fouls.
A long layoff is up next for Green Bay before the team begins conference play. The first Horizon League game of the year will come against league-rival Milwaukee on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in Green Bay with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
The game will be the first night game at Santaga Stadium and there will be free glow in the dark necklaces handed out to Green Bay fans and students.
