| Michigan Bucks Press Release Thursday, June 24th 2004 Contact: Kyle Karns (989) 781-6888 info@buckssoccer.com BUCKS AND KINGDOM END EVEN Michigan outguns Kalamazoo, but forced to settle for 0-0 draw. The Michigan Bucks ongoing quest for the PDL playoffs took another hit at Hurley Field on Thursday night as they battled to a 0-0 tie with the Kalamazoo Kingdom. The Bucks out shot the Kingdom by a wide, 21-7, margin, but were unable to beat Kingdom keeper, Nick Carlin-Voight, over 110 minutes of play. The scoreless game was the first time that the defending Great Lakes Division Champions have been held off the scoreboard this year. Peter Dzubay made two saves in the Bucks net for his second shutout of the year.
"It's disappointing to see this outcome after the team played as hard as they did tonight," said Bucks Head Coach Don Gemmell. "We're forced into a must win now in our next game in Indianapolis."
