Flash battles to 2-2 draw at Morehead State

BOX SCORE MOREHEAD, Ky. (Sept. 2, 2012) – The Saint Francis University women's soccer team struck twice in the second half to force a tie through 90 minutes but could not tally a game-winner, as it battled Morehead State to a 2-2 double OT draw on Sunday.

The Red Flash managed 18 shots to the Eagles' 22 at Jayne Stadium, as it moved its record to 1-3-1.  Morehead, on the other hand, remained winless with an 0-4-1 mark.

Morehead State held a 1-0 advantage at halftime thanks to a marker by sophomore defender Macy Cobb.  Cobb struck in the 43rd minute off a corner kick from freshman midfielder Macy Kootz.

Saint Francis found the scoring column in the 58th minute when freshman forward Brittany Hasson (Leola, Pa./Warwick) connected on her first collegiate goal off an assist from junior forward Barbara Maros de Carvalho (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Colegio Sagrado Coraco de Jesus).

In an eerily similar quick response to a Marshall goal on Friday, the Eagles responded less than a minute later when sophomore midfielder Caity Fox lofted a shot into the net from 30 yards out.

The Red Flash answered in the 77th minute when junior forward Tesa McKibben (Cogan Station, Pa./Montoursville) drilled one home from 10 yards out off an assist from sophomore midfielder Eloá Nascimento (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Jose Maria Matosinho).  McKibben took a match-high nine shots for Saint Francis, while Fox led Morehead State with six attempts.  Eighteen different players – 11 for MSU and seven for SFU – took shots in the affair.

Red Flash senior goalkeeper Brianna Butcher (East Longmeadow, Mass./East Longmeadow) was credited with eight saves in the match, while Eagles freshman keeper Elizabeth Floyd registered four stops.

Saint Francis returns home on Sunday as it welcomes Bucknell for a noon contest.
