ATHENS, W.Va. — Emory & Henry and Concord battled to a 0-0 draw Wednesday in a defensive struggle that saw both regional powers unable to break through despite sustained offensive pressure. The Wasps (6-3-4, 5-1-2 conference) earned a point on the road against the Mountain Lions (11-3-2), extending their unbeaten streak to four matches.
Concord dominated possession and created more scoring opportunities, recording 12 shot attempts compared to Emory & Henry's six. The home side generated five shots on goal, including efforts from Malher Santi Possu, who tested the Wasps' defense repeatedly throughout the contest. Despite their territorial advantage, the Mountain Lions could not find the back of the net against a resolute visiting defense.
Emory & Henry's goalkeeper made five crucial saves to preserve the draw, frustrating Concord's attacking ambitions. The Wasps' backline, anchored by defenders including Ndabila Mulenga and Leo Mimbele, absorbed considerable pressure while maintaining structural discipline. Mulenga received a yellow card for unsporting conduct in the 44th minute, while Mimbele was substituted out late in the match as Emory & Henry managed fatigue.
The visitors created their own chances despite limited possession. Adrian Colon fired a shot wide in the 13th minute, while Samuel Ulrich struck the woodwork high in the 56th minute—one of Emory & Henry's best opportunities. Grayson Cunningham tested Concord's goalkeeper from a free kick in the 60
