Akron men's soccer: Dominant Zips settle for draw with Bowling Green; still atop MAC
This one might be a little frustrating for the University of Akron men's soccer team.
Bowling Green played a spirited second half but the Zips dominated play and settled for a 0-0 Mid-American Conference tie at home.
UA produced more shots on goal (3-1), shots (12-2) and corner kicks (9-1) than Bowling Green (3-4-5, 1-1-2),
The 20th-ranked Zips (8-2-4, 3-0-2 in the MAC) remained unbeaten at home at 5-0-2, but probably are a little irked at their second tie with the Falcons in 11 days.
The second half produced late shots on goal by UA's Jonas Buechte with 4:15 left and another by Ryan Kingsford with 2:46 remaining, but Bowling Green goalkeeper Brendan Graves made both stops.
The first half was all Zips.
UA dominated first-half action with seven shots – one on goal – and held the Falcons without so much as even a shot near the net.
UA's best shot came at 10:39 when Johnny Fitzgerald put a shot into the left corner. Joey Akpunonu was able to head it away from net.
