Comets tie; Norse prevail

Leland and Traverse City St. Francis resulted in a thrilling 0-0 tie Saturday.

Div. 4 No. 3-ranked Leland won the first game April 21, 3-1, before the Gladiators returned the favor the following week, 2-0.

“We played great soccer,” Leland coach Joe Burda said. “We did everything we wanted to do. We just didn’t put one in the net, which was frustrating for all of them. St. Francis is a great team. We match up really well with them. Maybe it should end in a tie because in a three-game series with them, we’re that close with them.”
