BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams University Men's Soccer team battled the University of New England for 110 minutes without a victor, as both teams played to a scoreless tie in double overtime.

A cool day with blustering winds coming off of the water of the Mount Hope Bay did little to assist either team in their attempts to score. Goal kicks were stalled in mid-air, throw-ins bent back toward the out-of-bounds line, and long passes were bent toward the direction of the wind.

The first UNE possession demonstrated the effects of the weather on the game, as the Nor'Easters put up three consecutive corner kicks due to the assistance of the wind. Despite the wind, the Hawks continued to keep up the intensity on the offensive end, outshooting the Nor'Easters 18-2 in the first half.  Yet neither team was able to find the back of the net.

The second period saw more of the same, with both teams competing against each other and the weather. Roger Williams maintained the offensive pressure, with 10-4 shot advantage against UNE, but still could not score.

Both teams had close opportunities to break the stalemate, with a long pass by UNE's Riley Goodrich (Gorham, N.H.) in the 80^th minute hanging up in the air and nearly going in for a score before bouncing over the net. Dan Caruso (Tewksbury, Mass.) had a great opportunity in the 86^th minute, firing from the right side but getting denied by the crossbar before the UNE defense cleared it out.

In the overtime periods, Roger Williams outshot the Nor'Easters 11-2 with numerous close calls. Andres Daza (Farmington, Mass.) had an apparent goal stopped on a great save by UNE keeper Jon Planer (Yarmouth, Maine) in the 93^rd minute, in addition to five consecutive shots within the opening two minutes of double overtime, each of which did not score the game-winner. In the end, both teams came away with the shutout.

Hawk keeper Peter Plate (Commack, N.Y.) made three stops in the game, while Planer had 12 saves in the game.

Roger Williams (5-8-2, 5-3-2 TCCC) will take on Endicott College Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., while the University of New England (3-7-4, 1-6-3 TCCC) plays Curry Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
