The Austin boys soccer team had to settle for a 0-0 tie at Albert Lea (6-5-4 overall, 4-3-3 Big Nine) Tuesday.
The Packers (7-4-4 overall, 4-3-3 Big Nine) had 21 shots, and they put up five shots in overtime, but it wasn’t enough to get on the scoreboard.
“They’ve been playing some good soccer so far this year,” Austin head coach Jens Levisen said of the Tigers. “We knew going into it that it was going to be a battle. We brought our game and they brought their game and nobody could quite squeak it in.”
Chris Kirchgatter had 8 saves for the Packers.
