WILSON, N.C. – The Converse University men's soccer team (8-1-5, 5-0-4 Conference Carolinas) edged the Barton Bulldogs (6-3-2, 3-3-2 Conference Carolinas) 19-8 in shots taken but both teams failed to find the back of the net as their Saturday match ended 0-0.

The Valkyries also had a 7-2 advantage in shots on goal. Converse took just five shots in the first half and nearly tripled that number with 14 in the second half. They also took nine corner kicks while allowing Barton just a single corner.

Junior Guilherme Fontes led the Valkyries in shots taken with six. Sophomore goalkeeper Mateo Sanchez recorded two saves on two shots on goal, earning his fifth solo shutout of the season. 

The Valkyries return to the pitch on Wednesday, Oct. 30 as they host Emmanuel for a rescheduled conference game. Kickoff is set for 7:30 P.M.
