ITHACA, N.Y. – The 22nd-rated University of Akron men's soccer team garnered a 0-0 draw at No. 13 Cornell on Tuesday (Oct. 7)
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Zips came out on the offensive in the opening half and posted a 7-4 edge in shots, including 2-1 on goal. Akron was unable to turn one of those strikes in a goal over the opening 45 minutes and entered the intermission locked in a scoreless draw.
