Pekin 0, Washington 0

WASHINGTON - Pekin didn't muster much offense on Tuesday, but for once, it didn't end up in a loss for the Lady Dragons, who finished their Mid-Illini Conference girls' soccer match with Washington in a 0-0 tie.

The tie snapped a three-game losing streak for Pekin (1-3-1).

“We dominated early, keeping the ball mostly in their end for the first 15 minutes, but we were pretty uninspired after that,” said Pekin coach Edgar Sandoval. “We had more chances, but they had better chances, so this was a good result. And they outscored us 13-1 in three games last year, so this is a good step in the right direction.”

The Dragons outshot the Panthers, 10-9, with Pekin goalie Lindsay Coffey making eight saves.

Pekin will travel to Galesburg Thursday for a non-conference match.

Postponed

The rest of Tuesday's Pekin spring sports activity was postponed by rain.
