Sheldon Irish Girls Soccer 0-0 Willamette

A shutout on both sides tells the story: Sheldon's girls soccer team traveled to Willamette on Tuesday and came away with a 0-0 tie in non-league play. The Irish, based in Eugene, Oregon, and competing in the 6A-8 Midwestern League Hybrid, could not find the back of the net, but neither could the host Wolverines in a hard-fought defensive battle. Because this was a non-league contest, the result has no bearing on Sheldon's conference standing. The draw moves Sheldon to 5-6-2 overall on the season. A scoreless road tie against a non-league opponent shows the defense is capable of holding its own, even if the offense still has work to do in the final third. With the fall season winding down, the Irish will look to build on the defensive discipline they showed against Willamette and find a finishing touch as they return home to close out the year.
