WASHINGTON –  The No. 5 Georgetown University men's soccer team was given extra minutes but could not find an answer as the squad played to a 0-0 double overtime tie against the DePaul University Blue Demons on Friday at Wish Field in Chicago, Ill. in BIG EAST Conference action.  With the draw, the Hoyas moved to 7-1-1 on the season and 2-0-1 in BIG EAST Conference play, while DePaul went to 4-5-2 on the year and 0-1-2 in league games.
 
Sounds of the Game

• "You have to give a lot of credit to DePaul, they're very organized and very committed but we still generated 24 shots and 15 corners which is a good volume of opportunities on the road.  We knew finding the first one was going to be the trick today and we lacked quality end products on our finishing.  I can't fault our guys though because the effort was there and the guys played hard but it's difficult to break down a disciplined opponent.  We'll take some positives away but overall things just didn't fall our way." - Head Coach Brian Wiese

How it Happened

• In the 36th minute, junior Derek Dodson had a chance at the goal resulting in keeper Drew Nuelle's first save on the afternoon.
• Nuelle then saved a shot from Paul Rothrock before Riley Strassner's chance went just right of the goal.
• The Hoyas dominated pace in the first half as well as possession with seven corner kicks to DePaul's one.

• With 14 minutes left in regulation, Achara and Dodson combined for an opportunity as Nuelle continued to shut out the Blue & Gray.
• Polvara had one more shot sail high as the game went into overtime in a scoreless tie.
• In the 91st minute, Rothrock sent one across the face of the goal, but it was pushed out of harm's way by Nuelle with the Hoyas on the attack.
• A setpiece allowed Nealis a golden opportunity which Nuelle again stopped.
