Oakland\u2019s soccer team had their fourth straight tie to end the regular season with a 0-0 finish at Blackman Thursday Night.<\/p>\n

Blackman finished 3-4-1 in District 8-AAA while Oakland went 0-5-4. The two teams will do it all over again early next week when Oakland travels to Blackman in the district tournament.<\/p>\n

In the first half, Blackman had a pair of shots that went to each side of the goal wide. In the 22nd minute, a ball that Oakland sent through was touched by a Blackman foot and nearly was its own goal to give the Patriots the advantage.<\/p>\n

A yellow card was given to Patriot junior midfielder Isaac Rojas for rough play. A couple of cards were given in the second half to Oakland\u2019s Johnavon Southammavong and Blackman captain Luis Acosta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are areas that we are getting better and improving,\u201d Oakland coach Jeff Porter said. \u201cOffensively, we are executing and moving the ball better.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the second half, both teams played very physical. For several minutes, Blackman peppered Oakland netminder Sterling Miller with shots, but he was up to the task by diving across the goal and catching balls in the air.<\/p>\n

One attack down the field by Blackman\u2019s Mohammed Khaler hit the side of the net but the Blackman bench thought they had broken the ice despite no goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you play Oakland you except a very competitive game and there is a lot of respect on both sides and both teams played hard,\u201d Blackman coach Vladimir Borombozin said. \u201cWe will have to do it all again in the district tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
