LYNDHURST, Ohio -- Notre Dame (7-2-4, 6-1-1 AMC) could not break Urbana (4-7-4) in their first non conference match in 35 days, drawing 0-0 after 110 minutes of action.

Both teams came into the match with identical two game winning streaks and three double overtime draws. The Falcons boasted a 4-0-1 record at home without giving up a single goal in the process.

After 110 minutes of action the teams would end with the identical score just as the game began, 0-0 earning each team their fourth draw of the year. Last season the Falcons went 3-1-0 in overtime games, with two matches to play, the Falcons are 0-0-4 and have played 80 minutes of overtime action, just 10 minutes less than an additional match.

The Falcons outshot the visiting Blue Knights 9-1 in the opening 45 minutes, held a distinct 2-0 advantage in corner kicks but could not find the back of the Urbana net.

The second half would see a closer game statistically from the Blue knights but the Falcons would hold a 22-12 advantage in shots and 3-2 in corner kicks for the match.

#Emilie Lamarche# and #Brittany Cruz# would combine for the shutout. Lamarche would go through the opening 45 minutes without facing a shot on target as the Falcons dominated the Blue Knights. Cruz would make five saves in the second half and overtime to insure the Falcons home record remained intact.
