Mingoes tie with UIC to close out Florida tour

HIALEAH, Florida: The University of The Bahamas men's soccer team took 10 shots, but none got in the back of the net as they drew 0-0 against United International College (UIC) Eagle Rays at the Amelia Soccer Parks in Hialeah, Florida.

Left back Clerdjivensky Clerjuste had three of those shots with one going on target. UB dictated most of the match as they had 10 shots compared to UIC's two shots.

UB's head coach Alex Thompson felt his side should have won the game.

"In terms of chances created and on-goal, they had two shots," Thompson said. "Fatigue played less of a factor because we were able to rotate the squad, but we were good and composed enough in the final third."

Their best chance came late in the second half on a free-kick when defender Joshua Johnson headed the ball that bounced off the woodwork and appeared to go in the goal, but the referee waved it off and play resumed.

UB won 2-1 in the first clash between these two teams on Thursday. Johnson who wore the captain's band for that game scored both goals on a header from set-pieces. One came from a corner-kick in the first half, and the other came from a free-kick in the second half.

After four international games, UB sport a 1-1-2 win/loss/draw record. They head back to South Florida to take on Millennia Atlantic University on Thursday, October 16 and Albizu University Saturday, October 18.
