The Drake University women's soccer team tied Illinois State, 0-0, in double-overtime Saturday afternoon in Normal, Ill.
The two teams went scoreless for 110 minutes. The Redbirds (4-10-2) out-shot the Bulldogs (6-5-5) 18-17 and 7-6 on goal. Drake received five corner kicks compared to ISU's two.
We had very good chances in the first half, that at this point in the season, we need to be scoring or making their keeper make saves. Other than leaving those chances on the table, I thought we did very well on a difficult surface against a hungry Illinois State team," said head coach
Lindsey Horner.
Illinois State's Sarah Lafayette attempted the first shot of the match in the eighth minute but was stopped by Drake keeper
Kelsie Stone.
Stone recorded several key saves throughout her 110 minutes in the net, that kept the Redbirds scoreless. She ended the match with seven saves after facing 18 shots.
Seniors
Libby Helverson and
Alison Walls combined for nine shots and three on goal in their time on the pitch.
Junior
Rachel Panther added three shots for the Bulldogs.
Illinois State was led by Lafayette who tallied five shots and three on goal.
Neither team recorded more than five substitutions throughout the match.
The Bulldogs remain on the road as they take on Missouri State on Saturday Oct. 23.
