After two scoreless overtimes, the College's Saturday match against Kean University ended in a draw.
Lion junior goalie Rich Adams only had to save four of the seven shots taken by the Cougars during the game.
This is Adams' second shutout of the season.
The game was a contrast with the previous match at Richard Stockton College (6-4-2 overall, 2-2-1 NJAC), in which the Lions' defense gave up five goals.
Kean's senior goalie Peter-John Falloon had nine saves on the 12 shots taken by the Lions (3-2-2 overall, 1-2-2 NJAC).
This is the fifth time he has had a shutout this season. Kean led in corner kicks 9-4.
