Division II boy's soccer state championship update: 0-0 at halftime

-- Top-seeded East Greenwich and fifth-seeded Lincoln are tied 0-0 at halftime in the Division II state championship game being played at Rhode Island College.

East Greenwich dominated the first half. The Avengers did everything but throw the kitchen sink at Lincoln goalie Evan Walsh in opening stanza, but Walsh came up with one spectacular save after another. He currently has nine saves.

Among their numerous opportunities to score included Benjamin Berger's nifty footwork in the 20th minute when he split two defenders and fired away from five-yards out.
Walsh made an acrobatic diving stop.

In the 25th minute, Michael Monti beat his defender but Walsh came out and challenged him, making a diving save to keep the game scoreless.

Then the unthinkable happened during injury time. East Greenwich starting forward Scott Douglas and defender Brian Doyle collided with Lincoln midfielder Zack Perry, and Douglas and Doyle got injured on the play and had to be helped off of the field.

Their return is questionable.
