Boston University Men\u2019s Soccer (2-2-4, 0-1-1 PL) drew 0-0 against Lafayette College (6-2-1, 1-0-1 PL) on Saturday at Nickerson Field.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers came into the clash with Lafayette off of a 0-0 draw in a rivalry game against Boston College, limiting the ACC outfit throughout the game. BU continued their strong defensive form into the matchup against Lafayette.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was a really good performance by our guys,\u201d BU Head Coach Kevin Nylen said. \u201cThe unfortunate part is we didn\u2019t find a goal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BU outshot Lafayette 12-7 on Saturday, this included a long-range effort from forward Andrew Rent in the 83rd minute, which looked destined to give the Terriers the lead. However, the ball struck the crossbar and went out of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU\u2019s defense caused issues for the Leopards all game long, as the away side were ineffective going forward. This was represented in the 85th minute when Lafayette hit a crucial free kick far over the BU net, not troubling goalkeeper Francesco Montali.<\/span><\/p>\n

While BU looked strong defensively again, their offensive struggles continued as the goalless draw with Lafayette marked their third consecutive game without scoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to trust the process. We\u2019ve not conceded goals and so we\u2019re in every game,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cI thought tonight we created a lot of chances. The unfortunate part is we didn\u2019t find one in the back of the net.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers are now unbeaten in their last seven home games at Nickerson Field.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe talk about making it really difficult for teams to play here,\u201d Nylen said. \u201cAnytime you\u2019re at home, you have an advantage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BU will look to keep up their unbeaten run at home against Army on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Nickerson Field.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
