How It Happened
It was a defensive battle all night, as neither side could break through in a scoreless draw between Rhode Island and VCU Saturday night.

URI keeper William Synnestvedt made six saves, including multiple at point-blank range. His work helped the Rams record their third shutout of the season.

VCU had the best chances in the first half. In the 15th minute Sulaiman Abdul-Mateen fired a low shot that William Synnestvedt knocked away. Luca Estabio got the rebound and put a shot on target, but a Rhody defender was able to head the ball away from the end line.

In the end, both sides settled for earning one point.

Inside the Box Score

• Despite gaining a team point in the Atlantic 10 standings, Rhode Island slipped from eighth place to ninth place.
• La Salle moved into a tie with VCU for eighth place with its win St. Bonaventure.
• Rhode Island can still get into the Atlantic 10 Championship, but it no longer controls its own destiny.
• Rhody will need a win or tie at first-place Saint Louis, plus multiple other matches around the league to go in URI's favor.
• The tie was the fourth of the season for URI. That is tied for the fourth most in a season in program history.
