Minutemen Draw With No. 25 Duquesne At Rudd Field
September 24, 2022 | Men's Soccer
The Minutemen finished with a 19 to seven shot advantage in the scoreless draw.
AMHERST, Mass.– The University of Massachusetts men's soccer team played to a scoreless draw against No. 25-ranked Duquesne on Saturday afternoon at Rudd Field. The draw helped the Minutemen (5-0-4 Overall, 0-0-2 Atlantic 10) remain unbeaten heading into Tuesday's non-conference matchup at Vermont.
Â
UMass posted a 19 to seven shot advantage on the afternoon and put five of its shots on target. Alec Hughes attempted a team-leading seven shots and put a pair on target while Jack Englebert added two of his own shots on target. Hughes had one of his best attempts of the afternoon in the 42nd-minute with a shot up top that was pushed over the bar by Duquesne's Domenic Nascimben for one of his five saves on the day.
Â
Nick Zielonka nearly broke the scoreless tie in the 81st-minute, creating some space in the box to open up a left-footed shot across goal that hit the post and went out of play.
Â
Matt Zambetti finished with his second solo shutout of the year in goal for the Minutemen on his way to finishing with a pair of saves. The senior stopped both shots on target in the first half while the Dukes went without a shot on target in the final 45 minutes of play.
Â
The Minutemen take on Vermont in Burlington, Vt. on Tuesday at 7 p.m. before resuming A-10 play on Saturday night at Fordham.
