Men's soccer ties Holland

The Mount Mystics came out looking to earn their third win of the 2024-25 season, and had some early chances from Aiden Whelan who got two shots off early in the match. Holland's Chad McNally was also busy around the net with a shot in close, but Mystics keeper Tristan Brocklehurst made the save.

Cooper McVicar-Smith had a chance soon after, but it was tunred away by Hurricanes keeper Nolan Kowal.

Kowal made another save off a shot from Whelan just outside the 18 yard box.

The back and forth continued throughtout the first half with both teams trading chances including a great one for Holland's Fiston Ngabonziza who tried to put it over Brocklehurst's head, but he was able to bat it away.

A few minutes later, the Mount was called for a handball just outside the 18 yard box but Ngabonziza's sent the ball a little wide on the left side.

With both teams unable to find the back of the net, the game ended in a 0-0 tie.
