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.
