ANKENY, Iowa-- Sometimes things end the same place they began. And after a full regulation match and two ten minute over times North Central Men's Soccer and Faith Baptist Bible College ended the game the way it had begun two hours prior. The two long time NCCAA regional rivals finished in a scoreless draw.

The Rams battled for a tough road win at the always difficult Pyche Field but were forced to settle for a scoreless draw despite outshooting the hosts 25-10. North Central had the better opportunties in the two overtimes but could not convert including on a direct kick with less than a minute remaining.

The Rams will need to recover quickly as they get back to work on Friday and Saturday in a pair of Upper Midwest Athletic Conference matches. Friday NCU goes to Crown College (St. Bonifacius, Minn.) before taking on The University of Minnesota-Morris (Morris, Minn.) on Saturday. Friday's match is set for a 2 p.m. kickoff and Saturday is scheduled for a Noon start time.
