Furman, Davidson Battle To Scoreless Draw

Box Score

Greenville, S.C. -- Junior Alec Kann recorded his second straight shutout and third of the season as Furman and Davidson played to a scoreless draw in Southern Conference men's soccer action on Tuesday evening at Eugene Stone III Soccer Stadium.

The deadlock pushed Furman to 5-4-3 overall and 1-0-1 in the SoCon while Davidson moved to 5-4-4 overall and 1-2-1 in the league.

Neither squad was able to create many scoring opportunities over the games' 110 minutes.  Furman held a 9-8 edge in shot attempts, but the Paladins managed just one shot on goal while Davidson forced Kann into four saves.

The best scoring chance of the night fell to Furman's Danny Hojaij in the 63rd minute.  The sophomore ran onto a loose ball in the box and ripped a shot that was blocked off of the line by a Davidson defender and cleared after a scramble inside the six-yard box.

Hojaij created another chance late in regulation sending a free kick from the right side towards the far post, but Eric Cobleigh was unable to direct the ball into net with a sliding try at the left post.

Furman has been held scoreless in each of its last three matches and has not tallied a goal in 310 minutes.  The draw marked the third straight match in which Furman has been blanked at home.

The Paladins return to Stone Stadium on Saturday when they host Appalachian State in a SoCon showdown.  Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
