ALMA, Mich. – The Adrian College men's soccer team earned its second consecutive MIAA point on Tuesday afternoon, battling Alma College to a scoreless draw at Scotland Yard.

Alma increased its pressure after halftime, but goalkeeper Eli Sizemore and the Adrian defense kept the Scots off the scoreboard. Sizemore made three saves during the second half and finished the match with four to secure the clean sheet.
The Bulldogs continued searching for the deciding goal late in the match. Jacob Carbone recorded two second-half attempts, while Carter Kerbawy and Victor Munogo also created scoring opportunities. Adrian earned three corner kicks during the final 21 minutes but was unable to break the deadlock.
Adrian finished with 10 shots, including three on goal. Zeleji led the Bulldogs with two shots on target, while Carbone, Kerbawy and Munogo recorded two attempts apiece.
The Bulldogs move to 4-5-3 overall and 0-1-2 in MIAA play. Adrian returns to action Saturday, October 17, when it travels to Trine University for a 7 p.m. match.
