Draw Brings Reno Closer to Playoff Slot

Reno 1868 FC News Release
Reno's draw earns them a point, bringing their season total to 54 and growing the gap between them and fourth-place Real Monarchs SLC (46 points) who did not play today. SLC takes on Orange County on Wednesday.
Reno draws for the first time since May 18 at Tacoma Defiance. This is just the sixth draw all season for the club.
The last time Reno drew 0-0 was October 6, 2018 at Phoenix Rising. This is the fifth time ever Reno drew 0-0, and just the second time it happened at home.
Keeper JT Marcinkowski posted his fourth clean sheet of the season, notching nine saves on the night. Marcinkowski's season total now stands at 63, leading the team.
Marcinkowski's season save total of 63 is the third-most in club history, and just seven short of a career best.
The four clean sheets on the season are the fourth-most in club history for an individual.
The clean sheet is the seventh on the season for Reno, and second straight at home. Of Reno's seven clean sheets, six have come at Greater Nevada Field.
A draw means that even with an Orange County loss, Reno cannot clinch a home playoff match tonight.
