Freshman back Ryan Norland (East Brunswick/East Brunswick, N.J.) nearly got Ithaca on the board in the 77th minute after he beat three Rensselaer defenders but his shot was deflected before it made it to the net.

Junior goalkeeper Justin Parlapiano (Stafford/Stafford Springs, Conn.) made five saves.

The Bombers return to action Tuesday at Cortland at 7 p.m.
