UMBC and James Madison draw in scoreless shoot-out

Baltimore, Md.—The two teams combined for 24 shots and 18 corner kicks,
but UMBC and James Madison played to a 0-0 double overtime draw in
non-conference action in warm conditions at UMBC Soccer Stadium.

The Retrievers snapped a mini two-game losing streak and are now 3-2-2
on the season, while the Dukes are now winless in five straight and are
1-3-3.

The first seven minutes featured three corners by UMBC and two by James
Madison and Retriever freshman John Paul Waraksa had a header go just
wide on UMBC’s second corner in the seventh minute. The Dukes held a 6-4
edge in shots in the first half, but the Retrievers misfired on the best
chance of the match in the 34^th minute. Sophomore Andrew Gillis’ cross
eluded JMU netminder Ken Manahan, but freshman striker B.J. Quigley hit
a bounding ball over an unguarded goal from six yards out.

The pace actually slowed in the second half and neither team was
particularly dangerous inside the 20 yard lines. UMBC would have the
best chance in the first overtime, as junior midfielder Shondell Busby
looked to be in on a break, but his hurried shot from 20 yards away was
easily repelled by Manahan.

Early in the second extra session Quigley again had a chance, but did
not pull the trigger from the top of the box and Manahan knocked away
his dribble. JMU junior midfielder Nick Zimmerman, who led all players
with eight shots, had a header off a corner go just wide in the 104^th
minute.

The fleet UMBC front line was whistled for nine offsides violations in
the contest.

JMU outshot UMBC, 15-9, including 6-1 in the final two extra frames. The
Dukes also had ten corners for the match, while the Retrievers countered
with eight. UMBC netminder Steve King made two saves for UMBC, as did
his counterpart Manahan.

The scoreless draw is UMBC’s second of the season, marking the first
time in UMBC’s NCAA Division I history (1986) that they have recorded
two such results in the regular season. The Retrievers are now 9-2-7 in
their last 18 non-conference home games.

UMBC travels to Loyola (Md.) for a contest with the Greyhounds next
Saturday.
