SAN ANTONIO - Whitworth University controlled much of the action on the field, but could not find the back of the net in a scoreless draw with Southwestern University Sunday morning in a match played at Trinity University.

Barnam made six saves

The battle of Pirates (both teams' mascot) went unsettled as Whitworth goalkeeper Scott Barnum (So., Fall City, Wash.) earned his first career shutout by making six saves. Michael Ross and Ryan Tasin combined for the shutout in goal for Southwestern, making five saves.
