MENOMONIE, Wis. (Oct. 1, 2025) - It was a defensive battle for the Buena Vista men's soccer team as it played at the University of Wisconsin-Stout on Wednesday night, and despite holding the overall edge in total shots, the Beavers were unable to find the back of the net and had to settle for a 0-0 draw against the Blue Devils.

BVU came out strong in the opening half and took eight shots overall while holding UW-Stout to only four, but the team couldn't find the back of the net as UW-Stout keeper Eddie Puglisi made four saves. The Beavers carried the attack over into the second half and took 12 more shots but again Puglisi made four saves against the shots-on-goal. BVU finished the match with a 20-10 edge in total shots and an 8-3 margin on-goal.

Forwards Kendall Bickford and Brayden Schwinck helped lead the way with four shots apiece and each putting two on-goal. Dominick Kamrath added three shots while three others settled for two.

Zachary Sigler played the first 45 minutes in-goal and registered two saves while senior Cody Fuller played the entire second half and made one stop. The duo combined for the team's sixth shutout of the season and the second straight. It was also the first match that ended in a scoreless tie for the Beavers since it played to a 0-0 draw against Hamline University on Aug. 31, 2014.

Buena Vista is now 5-4-1 overall and will travel to Loras College (5-0-4, 0-01 A-R-C) for a 7:30 p.m. match on Saturday, Oct. 4 inside of the Rock Bowl.
