PHILADELPHIA - For the fourth time in five games, the University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team found itself batting into extra time. Unfortunately, the Quakers couldn't find their third golden goal of the season, settling for a scoreless draw Saturday night at Lehigh. 

PENN NOTES
*Lehigh prevailed in shots and corner kicks on the night, as Penn tallied 13 shots to the home team's 17. Penn finished with four shots on goal to Lehigh's six. 

*Scott Forbes tied his career high with six saves on the night, lowering his GAA to 0.72 after his third shutout of the season. 

*Seven players went the distance, playing all 110 minutes on the night: Casey Barone, Erumuse Momoh, Amado Lozano, Alex Touche, Brandon Bartel, RC Williams and Forbes. 

*Freshman Ben Stitz ended the night leading the Quakers in shots, posting four attempts, all within the final 20 minutes of regulation and overtime. Joey Bhangdia was the attacker early for Penn, finishing with three shots, all in the first half. 

*The draw for Penn at Lehigh is the third straight for the Quakers in Bethlehem, as the two sides posted a 1-1 result at the Ulrich Sports Complex in both 2016 and 2011.

*Penn now sports a record of 2-1-2 through its first five games for just the fifth time in program history and first since 2009.

*The Quakers are now 29-14-5 all-time against Lehigh. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
Lehigh came out firing, blasting a shot in the fourth minute to welcome Forbes to the game. Forbes proved up to the task, making the save as Penn survived a flurry of chances from the Mountain Hawks in the early minutes. As time went on, Penn settled down and began to find looks of its own, earning its first shot of the night in the ninth minute, as Jerel Blades fed a ball to Bhangdia who finished high of the goal. 

Bhangdia again would produce for Penn, notching a shot on goal in the 17th minute, before sailing one wide seven minutes later. Both squads went into the halftime break boasting stout defensive efforts, with much of the game played in the midfield. 

Into the second half the Mountain Hawks again looked for the early momentum setter, forcing a Forbes save less than three minutes into action. Bartel would square one up himself in the 56th minute, leading to Lehigh save, as neither team would record a serious threat until the late stages of regulation. 

Stitz, a rookie, asserted himself on offense to end the game, firing away three shots in the final 20 minutes of regulation, including one on goal. Both teams were put into trying defensive scenarios with seconds winding down, but the backline for both sides prevailed to send the game into overtime. 

Penn posted three shots in the 20 minutes of overtime, seeking a golden goal, to Lehigh's two, but finished unable to break the Mountain Hawk defense. 

WHAT'S NEXT?
The Quakers will wrap up their four-match road swing next weekend, traveling to New York to face Marist on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.
