NORTHFIELD, Minn. (09/23/06)-- If you don't think 0-0 double overtime ties in soccer are very exciting, just ask Concordia head coach Damian Koshnick and the rest of the Cobber men's soccer team!

Concordia was able to hold St. Olaf scoreless for 110 minutes and pick up a 0-0 tie on Saturday in Northfield, Minn. The tie gives Concordia its first conference point since Oct. 16, 2004 when CC tied Augsburg 3-3. The Cobbers are now 2-3-1 overall on the season and 0-2-1 in the MIAC. St. Olaf sports an identical overall and conference mark as the Cobbers. They also remain winless in their last four games.

It is also the first shutout for Concordia since the opening game of the 2004 season when the Cobbers blanked Northland College 2-0. The last time CC recorded a shutout in conference play was in 2003 when they also "bageled" the Oles in a 2-0 decision in Moorhead.

Despite the appearances on the surface, the game had a decided offensive edge as the teams combined for 31 shots. The problem for both teams was finding the target. Overall, St. Olaf held a 19-12 advantage in shots. On net was another story as the Cobbers held the 5-1 edge.

Bot teams had golden chances from in close and both coaches watched as the players either produced a shot that went right to the goalie or an attempt that went high or wide - or in some cases both.

Concordia's best chances came from the feet of freshman Lane Muzzana and defender Shane Evenstad. Muzzana found himself all alone in front of the goal, but his shot went directly into Ole goalie Eric Smith's legs and Evenstad had the final quality chance of the game. With less than a minute to go in the second overtime session, Evenstad was the recipient of a ball that was rolling directly back towards him at a slow pace inside the St. Olaf penalty area. Evenstad's shot, true to his defender status, was placed over the crossbar and out of harm's way.

St. Olaf had a 7-2 edge in corner kicks and the Oles committed 11 fouls the Cobbers' eight.

Concordia goalie Mads Schmidt stopped one shot to record his first collegiate shutout. Smith turned aside five shots to collect his second shutout of the year.

Concordia will return home to face Hamline on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. at the Jake Christiansen Athletic Complex.
