DePaul Settles for 1-1 Draw at Bowling Green
9/13/2018 5:59:00 PM | WOMEN'S SOCCER
Mary Tierney scored equalizer in 88th minute
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - In their penultimate non-conference game of the season, DePaul women's soccer battled to a 1-1 draw against the Falcons of Bowling Green on Thursday evening.Â
Thursday's draw marks the second of the season and the third time in program history the team has settled for two consecutive draws. The first came in October 1998 and the second in September 2005. Last year, the Blue Demons would record three consecutive draws in October against Xavier, RV Butler and Providence.Â
It wasn't until the 77th minute that the back and forth game would see a goal from either team. Erica Hubert, Falcons redshirt senior midfielder, put her team up by one with just 12 minutes remaining in the game. Things started to not look good for the Blue Demons until the 88th minute when freshman midfielder Mary Tierney headed the ball past the goalkeeper's hands off a cross from Jade Eriksen-Russo on the left side of the field for the equalizer and sent the game into overtime.Â
The first overtime period saw an offensive attack from DePaul with three shots while the second saw the offensive attack from Bowling Green with four shots, forcing freshman Mollie Eriksson to make three saves total. While neither team would score at the end of the 20 extra minutes, the Blue Demons forced the Falcons' keeper to make a total 13 saves on the night. Â
The offensive line, led by senior captain Franny Cerny and sophomore Morgan Turner as well as Madeline Frick put up a total of 21 shots; Cerny and Turner with five and four on goal, Frick and defender Sydney Parker each put up three shots, one and two on goal, respectively.Â
Up Next
The Blue Demons return home to host the Alabama Crimson Tide at 2:00 p.m. Sunday on Wish Field. DePaul currently holds an unbeaten record at home, 3-0-1, while the Crimson Tide post a 0-1-1 record when visiting their opponents.Â
Another Quick Look at the Crimson TideÂ
Alabama moved to 5-3-1 on the season after falling to Ole Miss 1-0 on Thursday night. Going into Sunday, DePaul is the lone non-conference opponent that the Crimson Tide will face this season. They finished the 2017 season at 12-1 and have 16 of those players returning, eight of those starters. In the last four of its five matches, Alabama has scored four or more goals and is currently on a five-game winning streak, outscoring their competition 22-2. Head coach Wes Hart is in his fourth season at the helm of the program that was picked to finish eighth in the SEC. Goalkeeper Alex Plavin has snagged 27 saves, three shutouts and posts a 0.91 goals against average. On the squad that averages 3.12 goals per game, five of its players were named to the SEC Preseason Watch List.
