UW-Platteville was oh-so-agonizingly close to scoring several times, but came up short by a 1-0 count against undefeated Ashford Tuesday night in Pioneer Stadium.
The Pioneers misfired on several outstanding scoring chances, including one by B.J. Gottschlich that fooled almost everyone. Gottschlich's blast from 33 yards out was hit so hard it that the ball just missed the goal and bounced so fast off the football goalpost and into the back of the net that even Saints' keeper (and the scorekeepers who put a point on the board) thought it went in. But it was that kind of night for the Pioneers, who fell to 8-7-2.
Nick DeBacker scored at 20:37 from 15 yards out for the Saints, who improved to 14-0-2.
Both teams had 13 shots, with the Saints having a 7-6 edge on shots on go
