Greencastle-Antrim 0, Middletown 0: Neither the Blue Devils nor the Blue Raiders could punch in a goal and had to settle for a scoreless draw in a Mid Penn Colonial matchup at Kaley Field on Monday night.

“It was great night to celebrate our seniors,” G-A coach Jonathan Lewis said. “Both teams played extremely hard and I think the final result was deserved.
