Nebraska soccer draws USC for a record-breaking fifth straight scoreless draw

Nebraska soccer drew 0-0 against USC on Thursday, Oct. 22, at Hibner Stadium. This was the Huskers' fifth straight scoreless draw and 10th of the season. The Huskers haven't scored in 452 minutes and haven't given up a goal in over 540.

The result extends a remarkable defensive run for Nebraska, which has kept opponents off the scoreboard for more than nine hours of match time. While the back line and goalkeeping have held firm, the attack has struggled to find the net, leaving the Huskers with a string of ties instead of victories.

Thursday's match against USC followed the same pattern as recent outings: Nebraska limited its opponent's chances but could not convert its own. The Huskers remain unbeaten in their last five matches, though all five have ended level.

Nebraska will look to end the scoring drought in its next match. The Huskers' defense has been among the most reliable in the conference, but the team will need to find a finishing touch to turn draws into wins as the season moves forward.
