Southington (3-3-3) and Bristol Eastern (4-1-3) played a 0-0 tie on Tuesday afternoon.   

Both sides had excellent chances to score in the final ten minutes as Nate Diloreto, Eastern’s goalie, had to make a diving save of a Blue Knight penalty kick. 

Then Eastern’s Dylan Piazza sent a head ball across the face of the Southington net, but no Lancer was there to knock home a goal.

“Our back line was sharp again, led by Nate who also had a few other eye-catching saves,”  said Lancer coach Bill Sweet.  “But our offense struggled to find any rhythm.”     

Diloreto made 8 saves, while Southington’s Ryan Lunn had 4.     

Eastern travels to Bristol Central on Friday.
