Michigan Plays to Second Consecutive Scoreless Draw
11/3/2004 12:00:00 AM | Men's Soccer
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team played its second straight scoreless draw today (Wednesday, Nov. 3) in a 0-0 double-overtime decision against Oakland at the U-M Soccer Field. Wolverine goalkeeper Peter Dzubay (Sylvania, Ohio/Northview HS) made six saves in net for Michigan and set a school record with 278:29 scoreless minutes. Senior captain Knox Cameron (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Spellman HS) also made his season debut but was unable to help the Wolverines (9-5-4) secure a victory.
Oakland was the aggressor throughout the opening half but was unable to register a shot on goal. The Grizzlies' best chance of the half came in the 27th minute when Chris Edwards beat the Michigan defense near the right side of the penalty box, forcing Dzubay to come off his line. Edwards then chipped the ball over Dzubay's head, but the shot bounced wide and the game remained scoreless after 45 minutes of play.
Oakland continued to pressure the Wolverines in the second half, but Michigan picked up its intensity and was able to create a number of scoring chances. In the 70th minute, Chris Glinski (Rochester, Minn./Lourdes HS) drew a foul from behind on Oakland, setting up a free kick by Adam Bruh (Roslyn Heights, N.Y./Wheatley HS) from 25 yards out. Bruh's attempt, however, was blocked by the Oakland wall.
Around 10 minutes later, Mychal Turpin (Pontiac, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit HS) drew another foul on the Grizzlies, this time just outside of the penalty area. Bruh once again took the free kick, but this time the shot sailed high, resulting in a goal kick for Oakland. Following Bruh's shot, the Wolverines began to pressure Oakland and held the ball in the Grizzlies' half of the field for the final 10 minutes of the game. Michigan, however, was unable to score the game-winner and the match went into overtime.
Play opened up in the overtime periods with each team creating numerous scoring opportunities. Oakland created the first chance to end the game with back-to-back breakaways from Edwards. Despite having a one-on-one with Dzubay, Edwards sent both attempts wide and the game continued.
The Wolverines answered Oakland's attack with a corner kick by Bruh in the 94th minute. Bruh found Turpin for a header at the mouth of the Grizzlies' goal, but the shot sailed wide and over the touchline.
With time winding down in the first overtime period, the Wolverines quickly moved the ball up the field to Turpin on the right wing. Turpin turned and beat the Oakland defense into the penalty box, but his attempt at the horn curved wide, resulting in a second overtime.
In the second overtime period, Michigan controlled play, holding the ball in the Grizzlies' half of the field. After being awarded back-to-back corner kicks with just over two minutes to play, the Wolverines fired a pair of shots inside the OU penalty box. Steve Hecker (Portage, Mich./Portage Northern HS) had the clearest look at the net, but his shot was corralled by OU goalkeeper Jeff Wiese.
Michigan will play its final regular-season game on Saturday (Nov. 6) at 2 p.m. when the Wolverines take on Ohio State at the U-M Soccer Field. Prior to the game, U-M will honor its seven seniors.
