PORTLAND, Ore. --- The No. 20 Pilots compiled 21 shots on the night, including a pair of attempts that hit the cross bar, but in the end Portland and the Colgate Raiders played to a 0-0 draw in the season-opener for both teams Friday at Merlo Field. Portland goalkeeper Nico Campuzano collects his first career solo shutout and finished with three saves.
 
The Pilots (0-0-1) had the game's first quality chances as both Yusuf Cueceoglu and Luke Hendel hit the cross bar with shots in the opening 15 minutes. Cueceoglu rattled the frame with a strike from about 20 yards out in the seventh minute, and Hendel did the same only moments later.
 
Rey Ortiz then had a shot saved by the Colgate (0-0-1) keeper in the 15th minute as the Pilots continued to press the Raider defense.
 
Campuzano was solid in the box during the opening half, repeatedly punching out balls sent in by Colgate. He also made a pair of stops as the two sides entered the locker room tied 0-0.
 
Portland kept applying pressure after the break, and Gio Magana-Rivera sent a shot wide just 15 seconds into the second half. The Pilots controlled possession from there, and they had a golden opportunity in the 57th minute. A through ball to Hendel created a one-v-one opportunity, pulling Jacob Harris off his line. But with the keeper approaching quickly, Hendel dragged a shot wide.
 
Eventually the Pilots and Raiders headed to overtime, where the Pilots controlled the run of play and peppered the Colgate frame with shots. On a free kick in the 95th minute from about 23 yards out, Ortiz tried to bend one inside the right post, but it was just wide.
 
Hendel also sent an attempt wide with a well-struck shot in the 95th minute, and the Pilots were knocking on the door throughout the second OT. Portland had four shots during that final 10 minutes, including a header that was wide from Francesco Tiozzo, but the clock would soon hit 110 as the game ended scoreless.
 
Next up for the Pilots is the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, who visit Merlo Field on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
