BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Susquehanna University men's soccer team went a full 90 minutes at Moravian Saturday without giving up a goal, though the Greyhounds matched that effort as both played to a scoreless draw to split a Landmark point at John Makuvek Field. The River Hawks' defensive effort kept the match scoreless, with goalkeeper
Finn Kramer making four saves.
How It Went Down
- Moravian applied pressure early, earning a corner kick in the opening minutes and testing the Susquehanna defense throughout the first half. Kramer made a key save in the 14th minute to keep the Greyhounds off the scoreboard, while Susquehanna worked to disrupt Moravian's attacking rhythm.
- The Greyhounds threatened again in the 37th minute when Giuseppe Propato sent a shot off the crossbar, but the River Hawks held firm. Susquehanna made several substitutions late in the half to bring fresh legs into the contest, and the teams entered the break tied 0-0.
- Moravian continued to press after halftime, recording 10 shots in the second half. Kramer and the River Hawks' back line stood strong, limiting the Greyhounds to four shots on target for the match. Susquehanna's best opportunity came through Khalil McDonald, who put the River Hawks' lone shot on goal, but Moravian goalkeeper Joey Varano made the save.
