Northwest Plays Eastern Okla St. to 2OT Draw

Box Score
SENATOBIA – The Northwest women's soccer team competed with Eastern Oklahoma State College for a full 110 minutes of well fought soccer only to finish in a scoreless double overtime draw Sunday morning.

Northwest moved to 7-1-3 overall and Eastern Oklahoma moved to 1-7-2 overall.

The Lady Rangers and the Lady Mountaineers went scoreless during two full halves. Eastern Oklahoma dominated the stat sheet with a 20-7 shot advantage, but Northwest controlled the field the majority of the time.

The Northwest defense was a serious force that Eastern Oklahoma needed to recognize.

In the 66th minute, the Lady Mountaineers came up with two dangerous shots back-to-back that Ashley Nelson was prepared to stop. Nelson made 13 big saves in the first 90 minutes.

During both overtime periods, Eastern Oklahoma dominated the attack with an 8-1 shot advantage, but Nelson came up with five more saves to finish with a career-high 18 stops.

The Lady Rangers finished with 16 fouls, including two yellow cards called against them.

Eastern Oklahoma's goalkeeper, Alexus Espinosa, finished with five saves and was a force on their defense that stopped many offensive attacks before they became too dangerous.

The Lady Rangers take to the road Tuesday, Sept. 30 against 10th-ranked Jones County.
