CLEVELAND – The Niagara University women's soccer team played to a 0-0 draw at Cleveland State on Thursday night.

SYNOPSIS
It was an evenly contested game between two evenly matched teams. Even though there were no goals, the game provided plenty of action.

The first 25 minutes of the game were controlled by the Purple Eagles, but the Vikings had the better scoring chances in the final 15 minutes of the half. CSU's momentum continued into the early part of the second half, before Niagara took over in the final 20 minutes of the second half.  
 
In the overtime periods, both teams had a few scoring opportunities that were turned away by smart goalkeeping.
