Box Score Wabash fired two point-blank shots in the first of two overtimes, but Franklin College's pesky defense forced a scoreless tie between the two Indiana soccer teams.
 
The Little Giants owned a 7-3 edge in shots on goal, including back-to-back efforts by Steve Magura and Cory Sims off a corner kick from Blake Jennings. Franklin's Cody Chapman took the first shot off the chest and managed to get enough of Sims' attempt to keep it out of the net before one of the Grizzlies pounded the ball away from the box.
 
"This was the first time we didn't get on the scoreboard all year, so props to Franklin for a well-defended game," Wabash Head Coach Chris Keller said. "They had a good game plan going into the match and had the first half (in their favor) actually. We adjusted and I think we dominated the rest of the game."

Dayton Jennings as equally impressive in net for Wabash. He improved to 3-0-2 for the season by turning away all three shots from Franklin (3-3-1) he faced, including a punch save over the cross bar in the final minute of the first overtime.
 
Magura, Simms, Ivaylo Mantchev, and Ethan Dove each finished with a shot on goal for Wabash. Ray Kobus came off the bench and fired two shots on net for the Little Giants, as well.
 
Wabash remains unbeaten for the season with a mark of 5-0-2. The Little Giants travel to Rose-Hulman Wednesday for a 7 p.m. match before returning to Mud Hollow Stadium Saturday to begin North Coast Athletic Conference play against Hiram College at noon.
