In case you missed it, the Rhinos tied the Harrisburg City Islanders 0-0 in a friendly on Saturday in Lancaster, PA.
This report sounds like former Rhino GK Chase Harrison had to make a couple of good saves on Tony Donatelli to keep the sheet clean.
Also, the WNY Flash tied the Greece Cobras U18 boys at Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday. Although, they were playing without the likes of Marta, Christine Sinclair, Alex Morgan, and Ashlyn Harris who either weren't in town yet or just got to town and were given the day off by Coach Lines.
