BALTIMORE, Md. – Scoring has been at a premium between Gettysburg and Johns Hopkins on the soccer pitch over the last two seasons as the two teams posted a scoreless draw for the second consecutive year in Centennial Conference men's soccer action Thursday night.
 
Gettysburg (3-4-1, 0-2-1 CC) out-shot Johns Hopkins (3-4-1, 1-1-1 CC) 5-3 in the opening half with a pair of attempts on goal. Senior Craig Heckman's header was stopped by Blue Jay goalie Nick Cerrone in the 11th minute, while Cerrone stonewalled junior Brooks Taylor in the 38th minute.
