The first men's game at Enid for Jets men's soccer ended in a 0-0 draw against Pratt (KS) Monday night.

NOC Enid outshot the Beaver men but couldn't push across the game winning goal despite a couple of good opportunities.

"Our team effort was great," said coach Cesar Zepeda.  "We had some adversity early (red card) but we maintained our effort despite being a man down.  Defensively, we stayed composed, compacted, and focused making it hard for the opposition."

"We can improve our decision making in the final third, being a little more patient, and not forcing our chances late in the game."

Keeper Aron Kanyai stopped all three Pratt (KS) shots on goal while the Jets had five, three by Reik Barrack.

The Jets are at Eastern Wednesday at 4 p.m.
