LA JOLLA, Calif. - The UC San Diego and SF State men's soccer teams split the points in a 110-minute scoreless deadlock on Sunday afternoon at Triton Soccer Stadium.

UCSD thus moved to 5-4-4 overall and 4-2-2 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The Tritons remain alone in third place in the league table. SFSU, winless over its last five, is 5-4-3 overall and 1-3-3 in CCAA play.

Redshirt junior Cameron McElfresh wound up with four saves for UCSD to notch his sixth shutout of the season and 18th of his career. Senior Daniel Boyer made three in his first start of the year for the Gators.

Perhaps UCSD's best chance to break the stalemate in fact came late in the second of two 10-minute overtime periods. In the 108th minute, freshman forward Nathaniel Bloom (Encinitas/San Dieguito HS Academy) accepted a pass from junior midfielder Riley Harbour and hit a hard right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty box, only for the ball to smack off the near post and bound away.

In the 96th, just past the midway point of the first overtime, Uly de la Cal sent a cross from left to right, and junior Nick Palano played it back into the middle toward freshman Brandon Monteiro Magpayo, who sent his shot high of the target.

Earlier in the 33rd, Monteiro Magpayo found Danny Glascock with a free kick, with the redshirt sophomore sending a cross toward the back post, but Christian Cordell had his effort go narrowly wide to the left. With halftime approaching, Bloom's right-footed, left-sided cross was met by Cordell with a flying header on the right edge of the six-yard box, but Boyer was there at that post to deny to a corner kick.

Bloom had a look at an empty net in the 82nd minute as the ball came to him from the right with Boyer out of position, but his left-footed shot came off a defender and went out for another corner kick.

The Tritons out-shot the Gators on the day, 16-13.

UCSD now gets ready for its toughest road trip of the season, heading all the way up to Humboldt State on Friday, Oct. 16, and Sonoma State on Sunday, Oct. 18.
