EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and IPFW battled to a 0-0 deadlock Saturday night in men's college soccer action.

SIUE, 5-6-2, will have to wait one more week before trying to even its record. Next up for SIUE is a travel date at Memphis next Saturday at 7 p.m.

SIUE Coach Kevin Kalish took the tie and pronounced good effort from his Cougars.

"I was pretty pleased with the way we played. It was one of our better games of the year," said Kalish. "I was happy with our effort. I think we left everything out on the field."

For a game with no goals, both teams had opportunities but few were on-goal. Scott Meyer, who recorded his sixth shutout of the season, recorded one save. IPFW goalkeeper Donovan Dowling finished with three saves.

SIUE's Kevin Bielicki led both teams in shots with six. Max Touloute was the leader for IPFW, 4-9-2, with four shots. SIUE held a slight edge on shots overall 15-13.
