LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The Lock Haven (3-3-8, 2-2-3 PSAC) men's soccer team battled Slippery Rock (3-5-5, 1-3-2 PSAC) to a scoreless draw on Wednesday night at Hubert Jack Stadium with the Bald Eagles' best chance of the night banging off the crossbar.

Lock Haven outshot Slippery Rock 11-8, but couldn't find the go-ahead tally. Junior goalkeeper Ethan Beck made three saves for the Bald Eagles and Troy Nine made one for The Rock.

The Bald Eagles' best look came late in the first half. Over a stretch of about 15 seconds in the 43rd minute, they piled up two shots and three corner kicks in one sequence, and Austen Veach's shot hit the woodwork for the best opportunity of the night.

Slippery Rock had its own near miss early in the second half. Zsombor Retfalvi's shot at 59:38 also hit the top woodwork. Beck had already stopped Retfalvi from the bottom left in the 49th minute, and he turned away Tom Roantree and Kaden Reynolds in the first half as well. Slippery Rock put three shots on goal, with Beck stopping all of them.

The scoreless draw marked the third consecutive tie in a battle of longtime PSAC foes.
