Women's Soccer Plays Niagara to a Scoreless Draw

Strong defense earned Canisius a scoreless draw at longtime rival Niagara Wednesday night in Lewiston, N.Y.
 
With the tie, the Golden Griffins move to 6-5-1 on the season and moved to 1-4-1 in MAAC play. The Purple Eagles improve to 6-7-1 overall and 2-4-1 in league action.
 
Senior goalkeeper Alana Rossi made three saves in the game and earned her sixth clean sheet of the season. Sabrina Locus of Niagara was able to make four saves to keep Canisius off the scoreboard. The Purple Eagles outshot the Griffs 21-8, while Canisius put four shots on goal to Niagara's three.
 
Head Coach Todd Clark's Postgame Comments
"Rivalry games are often more entertaining than they are "good soccer" and tonight was a good example.  Having said that, I am proud of our grit and determination.  Our seniors have never lost to Niagara and they should be proud of that as we head forward."
