Greensboro, N.C. – Sophomore Sven Lissek recorded three saves as Furman ran its unbeaten streak to eight matches with a 0-0 draw at UNCG in Southern Conference men's soccer action on Tuesday evening in Greensboro, N.C.

The draw moves the Paladins to 7-1-2 overall and 0-0-2 in SoCon play.  Furman has recorded seven shutouts in its last eight matches and has allowed just one goal since suffering a 1-0 loss to nationally-ranked Akron on September 1, in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.  With the tie, UNCG moves to 5-5-2 overall and 0-0-1 in league play.

The annual renewal of the Furman-UNCG rivalry proved to be a defensive stalemate as both were credited with just three shots on goal while the Spartans managed a slim 17-16 edge in total shots.

Senior Michael Gandier helped create trouble in the UNCG box in the opening half.  Possession was split between the sides until Furman gained the momentum in the final 10 minutes before intermission.  Josh Fusan produced one of the best chances for the Paladins during the second half only to miss wide.  Martin Ontiveros finished the contest with a team-high four shots.

Lissek, a native Sewau, Germany, was called on to turn away three Spartan shots in the final 20 minutes of regulation to force overtime.  UNCG managed a 5-1 edge in shots during the two 10-minute periods, but Furman's defense did not allow a shot on goal down the stretch.  

The clean sheet was Lissek's sixth of the season.  UNCG's Stephen Moffitt stopped two shots to earn a shutout for the Spartans. 

Furman returns to action on Saturday when it takes on the Davidson Wildcats at Alumni Stadium in Davidson, N.C. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
