Saint Louis FC News Release
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Saint Louis FC earned a point in its final road game of the regular season, battling to a goalless draw against Harrisburg City Islanders Sunday night.
With the draw, Saint Louis moves to 6-11-9 (27 pts.) while Harrisburg moves to 10-10-5 (35 pts.).
The visitors had a familiar face return to the lineup, as defender Richard Dixon made his first start since suffering a knee injury in late May.
The hosts had chances early, but all were stopped by STL FC goalkeeper Alec Kann. Saint Louis answered back with a cross sent in from Jacob Bushue to Jordan Roberts, but his shot was turned aside by Harrisburg's Nick Noble.
Play picked up in the second half, as Harrisburg sent two shots off the post.
However, the Saint Louis attack continued. A ball sent in from outside the penalty area from Bryan Ciesiulka found the foot of Jamiel Hardware, who ripped a shot low to the near side but was stopped by Noble.
There was another late chance for the visitors as Roberts burst through the Harrisburg defense and took a shot that went just wide of the far post.
Saint Louis FC will close out the regular season with back-to-back home games, beginning on Saturday against the Charlotte Independence. Kickoff is set for 7:30 PM.
