Box Score CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – No. 13 Parkland men's soccer battled Division I Southwestern Illinois College (4-3-3) on Saturday, September 21st, but neither team was able to score, and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. 
 
"The result really came down to our inability to finish our chances so there was a feeling that we let it slip away," Parkland head coach Mark Sikora said after the match. "We had a great second half vs a strong DI program. Being able to handle the reigning NJCAA DI Player of Week was a great challenge but the backline of Clinton, Ebenezer, and Boti (along with the play of both goalkeepers Matteo and Haruki) did just that and gave us a chance to win.  All in all, everyone who played today did fairly well, just could not find the elusive game winner."
 
Parkland recorded six shots on goal from five Cobras. Haruki Arakawa had four saves, while Matteo Puli added two saves. 
 
Up next, the Cobras travel to Robinson, Illinois, to play Division I Lincoln Trail College (0-4). Kick-off is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
