Men's Soccer Battles Through Heat for 0-0 Draw With Delaware

WASHINGTON - The American University men's soccer team played Delaware to a scoreless draw on a 95-degree Tuesday afternoon, staving off 12 shots and 10 corner kick opportunities from the Blue Hens and nearly breaking through in the second half on a chance from freshman Henrick Boahen. AU moves to 0-2-2 on the season after picking up its second clean sheet.

How it Happened
  • Delaware was on the front foot in the first half, taking 12 shots to just one from AU. 
  • The Blue Hens' best chance of the half came in the 27th minute, as Freddy Jeffreys got free for a header in the box that was calmly corralled by Tubbs. 
  • The visitors generated five corner kicks in the half, including three in a row in one trip into AU's third. 
  • The Eagles worked to penetrate Delaware's defense in the second half, and found success early on.
  • In the opening minute, Oliver Snowdon caused a turnover in the attacking third and found Boahen at the top of the box. The freshman from Ghana took a touch to his left foot and fired a shot that was blocked, with the rebound falling right to him. On the second opportunity, Boehen squared a right-footed strike that forced a diving save on the left side of the frame from Eric Widrick. 
  • Just minutes later, Patryk Rojek forced another diving stop from Widrick after getting loose in transition, but he was whistled offside. 
  • The Eagles did well to deny a late push from Delaware. The Blue Hens took five shots in the final 20 minutes, two of which were blocked and one that forced Tubbs' best save of the day. 
  • In the 73rd minute, Liam Penny took a directed a feed from German Argueta toward goal. The ball took a deflection off of Snowdon, forcing Tubbs to stretch his hands out to make a diving save as the ball changed directions.
