NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. - The Spartans played at home for the first time since September 11th on Saturday. Manchester hosted Hanover College in HCAC action at Good Field. The 90 minute battle ended without a goal for either side with the final score being 0-0.

The Panthers offense was strong and pressured the Spartans for much of the afternoon. The Spartans defense answered the task. Hanover fired 9 shots on the afternoon, only 3 of which were on goal. Goalkeeper Aaron Ketchmark (Kouts, Ind., Kouts)) earned the clean sheet behind a 3 save afternoon. 

The draw keeps Manchester above Anderson, Earlham, and Defiance in HCAC standings. Hanover slid down to third place behind Rose-Hulman and Translyvania who are tied for first.

The Spartans will look to move up the table Wednesday as they host Franklin at Spartan Stadium. The HCAC contest is set to kick off at 7:30 pm.
