Goalkeeper Ryan Davis (Lake Loon, NS) posted a seven save clean sheet as the Huskies and REDS played to a 0-0 draw on Friday night at Huskies Stadium in Halifax.
It was Senior's Night for the Huskies as graduating players Jensen Brown (Enfield, NS), Cameron Zinn (Bridgewater, NS), Sumit Malik (Dartmouth, NS) and Cian Tousignant-Osiadhail were honoured pre-game for their years of commitment to the program.
The Huskies best chance on the first half came in the 38th minute when forward James Spence (Hammonds Plains, NS), had an opportunity to finish off a cross from Adam Dunsworth (Halifax, NS) but was stopped by REDS keeper Louis-Charles Vaillancourt (Sherbrooke, QC)
Moments later it was the REDS who had a great chance, as striker Luke Rosettani (Kanata, ON) had a clear look at goal but Davis made a diving save just before the official blew his whistle for halftime.
Davis continued his strong play in the second half with several great saves, and got a little help from his defence on a corner kick in the 74th minute, as Tousignant-Osiadhail cleared a scoring chance off the line to keep the game scoreless, and 90 minutes went without a goal for either side.
