The Shippensburg University men's soccer team could not find the back of the net on Wednesday, as the Raiders dropped a 2-0 decision to host Bloomsburg in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division matchup at Steph Pettit Stadium.
 
Shippensburg (1-5-3, 1-4-1 PSAC East) finished with a 9-5 advantage in shots on goal and a lopsided 14-2 edge in corner kicks, but the Raiders were held scoreless for the fifth time this season. Husky goalkeeper Nathan Slotnick made nine saves to record a shutout for the hosts.
 
Bloomsburg (5-7-0, 4-3-0) opened the scoring just 90 seconds before halftime on a goal by Foti Malitas, who rebounded a Carter Luckenbaugh shot that hit the post. Malitas was then promptly dismissed from the contest, receiving his second yellow card of the match for removing his shirt in celebration.
 
The Raiders benefitted from the man advantage, earning 11 corners while only yielding one shot on goal over the final 45 minutes. Unfortunately for SU, that lone Husky shot was a penalty kick converted by Tyler Madeira in the 58th minute.
 
Senior Bradley Brickman made three saves for the Raiders.
 
The teams combined for 11 yellow cards in the match – six by Bloomsburg and five by Shippensburg.
 
Shippensburg returns home Saturday for a 2 p.m. Homecoming matchup against Lock Haven from David See Field.
