MOORHEAD, Minn. – The last time Daniel Sessler (Brookfield, Ill.) took the field, the Saint Mary's University junior equaled his career high with 12 saves in the Cardinal men's soccer team's 2-0 loss to seventh-ranked Gustavus last Wednesday.
 
Sessler was back between the pipes on Saturday — and he was once again at his career best.
 
For the second game in a row, Sessler did yet another picture-perfect impression of a brick wall, matching that career-best with 12 saves against the Cobbers.
 
Unlike Wednesday, however, Sessler's effort this time around earned the Cardinals a key conference point, as Saint Mary's battled Concordia to a 0-0 stalemate.
 
The Cobbers held the upper hand through the game's opening 45 minutes, outshooting the Cardinals 9-3 — including 4-1 in shots on goal.
 
Concordia continued to hold the upper hand in the second half, pelting the Saint Mary's net with nine more shots.
 
But nothing the Cobbers threw at the Cardinal net would get past Sessler — including a penalty kick by Trevin Vah in the 75th minute.
 
The Cardinals (0-3-1 MIAC, 3-5-3 overall) are now off until next Saturday, when they welcome Augsburg to Ochrymowycz Field for a 3:30 p.m. conference matchup.
