Box Score DUE WEST, S.C.- The Shorter Men's Soccer team battled with Erskine on Friday afternoon, battling them to a 0-0 draw at Lundy Field. 


The Hawks offense took flight to begin the contest, firing off a flurry of shots at the Fleet that were met with resistance from Erskine. Both teams continued to fight with no side able to gain the upper hand as both teams entered the break scoreless. 


Shorter continued to fight as the second half rolled around, forcing several corners. After failing to register more than one shot in the first half, the Fleet were able to fire eight shots. Zach Lunceford had a great showing in goal for the Hawks, recording three saves to anchor Shorter's defense. Shorter's offense continued to fire shot after shot, but failed to find the back of the net, as the game ended in a 0-0 draw. Shorter dominated offensively, outshooting Erskine 14-9, with six shots being on frame compared to Erskine's three. The Hawks also registered nine corners, with Erskine only being able to get one. 


"Super proud of the boys and the resiliency they put up today", said Head Coach Roberto Hernandez. "Having a game change with less than 24 hours' notice is something that is not easy, so I am super proud of them and how they handled business. A little disappointed that we didn't get the results today. I think we created enough chances, and I think that we were the stronger team at moments in the game. We are ready to bounce back as we face Emmanuel next week and we're ready to go".
