Xavier men’s soccer shut out its fourth straight opponent, battling Providence to a 0-0 result at the Friar Track Complex on Saturday.
With the draw, XU remained unbeaten in its past four and moved to 6-3-1 overall (1-0-1 BIG EAST). The Friars, who went to the BIG EAST Championship game and the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2013, moved to 5-2-1 and 0-0-1 in their 2014 league opener.
The Musketeers made some history in the match, holding a fourth straight opponent scoreless to tie a program record set in 1988. The stingy defense runs back a month now for Xavier, as the team has blanked six of its past seven opponents. In the team’s last 667:15 of play, Xavier has allowed just one goal. The last team to find the net in regulation against XU was Bradley, coming back on September 4.

One month without allowing a goal in regulation is awesome!
