The Red Raiders continued their unbeaten streak with a draw Saturday night against Concordia University (Neb.) 1-1 in GPAC play.
The Raiders got off to a quick start creating great chances but could not finish off a chance. The game continued to be open throughout the first half and the Bulldogs finally found the net in the 43rd minute.
Roger de la Villa found a through ball off of Derek Eitzmann and was able to catch the NWC back line in a transition moment and was able to put away the through ball.
Northwestern would bounce back early in the second half with a goal in the 54th minute.
Tyler Limmer found
Alex Schussman for a great finish. It is Schussman's 3rd goal of the year and Limmer's team leading 8th assist.
The Bulldogs and Raiders would battle box to box for the remainder of the second half and both overtime periods to no avail. Both teams would have their chances but could not get a finish to beat either keeper. The draw is the first one of the year for both teams.
"It's never ideal to end a match in a draw, commented head coach
Dan Swier. "We did some things really well tonight and we failed to execute in some areas. We will keep building on our successes and fight like crazy to stay unbeaten in conference player next week."
The Red Raiders look to continue their unbeaten streak Wednesday when they travel to Mount Marty College.
