What else can go wrong?

The Penn State men's soccer team ended the portion of its schedule that doesn't include teams named Indiana and Ohio State with a very frustrating draw against the Atlantic Ten's resident basement dweller, St. Bonaventure.

The Nittany Lions (2-5-2) tied the Bonnies, 1-1, last night in a game where the frustration on the offensive end for Penn State was like watching Shaq at foul line.

The Lions racked up 29 shots over 110 minutes of play against the Bonnies (1-5-2) -- including 16 on goal -- and netted only one. Penn State has now scored only five goals in nine games.

"We're dealing with young men here; you have to understand that," Penn State men's soccer coach Barry Gorman said. "I have told the guys before if I could give them one thing, it would be a 28 year old to calm them down because he's been through this before."

Early on, Penn State appeared on the verge of righting the ship without the help of an older player, but then, for the second straight home game, junior forward Simon Omekanda started off scoring with a shot that was drilled into the right side of net.

The Lions actually put two balls behind the goalkeeper tonight -- too bad one went behind Penn State keeper Conrad Taylor.

The own goal negated what was a dominating half of play for Penn State. The Lions controlled every aspect of the game from the back line to the box for the majority of the half. But the ill-advised header of midfielder David Walters with four seconds left was a devastating turn of events.

The Lions peppered the Bonnies' giant goalkeeper Jon Blanchard with five shots in the half.

Blanchard's 6-foot-5 frame gave Penn State fits all night. He was able to snap up crossing passes, which is a staple of any soccer attack and only added to the Lions frustrations.

"I was telling them to stop shooting high," Gorman said. "With a big goalie, you want to bring the ball back so that he can't take away the crosses."

Penn State finally bought into Gorman's message during the second overtime period. The Lions had two tremendous flurries that resulted in numerous scoring opportunities. But as the story goes this season for Penn State, they weren't finished.

The best chance came when junior midfielder Brian Devlin had what seemed to be an easy goal. However, St. Bonaventure's senior defender Konrad Paszkowski headed out the chip shot.

"I thought it was it in," Devlin said. "I didn't even see the guys back there. It's like in hockey: you want to try and screen the goalie. ... but you just kick it around when it's a flurry and hope it gets deflected."

At this point in the season, with defending national champion and No.1 Indiana looming, the Lions may need more than just hope.
