ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University men's soccer team fought into double overtime with UC Santa Cruz to draw a 0-0 score for the Panthers and Banana Slugs on Friday night at Wilson Field. The Panthers move to 1-0-1 overall with tonight's draw.

Junior M Marco Saglimbeni's header in the 28th minute to almost put Chapman ahead but UC Santa Cruz's junior GK Connor Andreson diving snag kept the Panthers from scoring, keeping the score 0-0 at the end of the first.

With a man-up advantage in the second half junior M Jake Sarmiento took an outside shot from the 15-yard line but an unfavorable offside call against the Panthers prevented Chapman from taking the lead. The Panthers then went double-overtime with the Banana Slugs taking five shots on goal but ultimately came up just shy.
