WHEATON, Ill. -- The University of Chicago and 21st-ranked Wheaton (Ill.) College played to a scoreless tie in men's soccer action Tuesday night.
The teams combined for only 15 shots in regulation, eight by the host Thunder and seven by Chicago.
Each team had its best scoring chance late in the second half.
With just under 13 minutes remaining in regulation, Wheaton's Drew Golz eluded a Maroon defender and fired a shot toward the upper corner, but Chicago freshman goalkeeper Elek Lane (Eau Claire, Wis./ Memorial) made a leaping save to preserve the shutout.
Six minutes later, Chicago senior midfielder Stanton Coville (Powell, Ohio/ Olentangy Liberty) blasted a shot from the left side of the box off the crossbar.
Chicago attempted two shots in overtime, while Wheaton managed one. None of the three shots were on net.
Lane (pictured) notched his third shutout of the year and extended his season-long shutout streak to 335 minutes.
The Maroons return to action Saturday evening in Bloomington against Illinois Wesleyan University.
