Felix Schafer adds another shutout as Nor'easters finish scoreless in Philly

The Ocean City Nor’easters kept their undefeated season alive with a scoreless draw on the road against the Philadelphia Lone Star FC.

Felix Schafer earned his fourth clean sheet of the season as he continues to make a push to break the club’s single-season goals against average record. When the night was finished, he had a 0.66 GAA.

“We controlled large segments of the game and created a number of chances to put the game away but Philadelphia’s goalkeeper came up with some huge saves,” said Nor’easters head coach Kevin Nuss.

With the draw, the Nor’easters, who have already clinched the Mid-Atlantic Division title, extended a number of streaks.

Chief among them, Kevin Nuss extends his personal unbeaten streak to 19 games. This dates back to the 2019 season. Nuss hasn’t lost a game as the Nor’easters’ head coach since June 15, 2019. Since then, when he’s been in charge of the Storm, the club is 13-0-6, which breaks the club record set by Dan Christian during the club’s undefeated 2004 season.

The Nor’easters extend their overall unbeaten streak to 13 games (dating back to last season), and add to their club record road unbeaten as it reaches 13 games (which dates back to the 2019 season).
   
The Storm will try to keep those streaks going with the regular season home finale approaching this weekend. The Nor’easters will host West Chester United on Sunday night at Carey Stadium (“The Beach House”) in Ocean City, N.J., America’s Greatest Family Resort. It will be a tough task for Ocean City because West Chester will have a lot to play for as they are fighting for a playoff spot. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Nor’easters will then return to Philadelphia for the final game of the regular season as they take on Lone Star FC for the third time on Saturday, July 16.
