Box Score Union, N.J. -- The University of Lynchburg women's soccer team was knocking on the door all match, but could not bury a shot against Stockton as the final result in the squad's first match of the Kean Kickoff Tournament resulted in a scoreless draw on Friday afternoon.
The inaugural match of the season for the Hornets (0-0-1) finished without a goal for either side. Although no shots fell for Lynchburg, they were knocking all throughout the 90-minute contest as the team tallied 14 shots on goal to Stockton's one.
