The young Lions are left lamenting missed opportunities after out-playing the visiting City Islanders with both teams just a point below the playoff line. Scott Thomsen’s second-half miss in the 63rd minute from nine yards away with a gaping empty net was the team’s most glaring wasted opportunity for a team that failed to score for the third time in four games.
Thomsen later had a chance to redeem himself late in stoppage time when a ball fell perfectly for him in nearly the same spot but he hit his one-time shot right at the goalkeeper and OCB (5-6-9, 24 points) was left with its third 0-0 draw in four outings in front of 1,061 against the Harrisburg City Islanders (6-9-6, 24).
