Women's Soccer Battles to 1-1 Draw Against ETSU

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Kathryn Saunders' 90th minute equalizer sent the match into overtime, but neither team could strike as ETSU and Campbell battled to a double overtime 1-1 draw, Saturday afternoon at the Eakes Complex. Campbell advances to 1-8-2 (0-4-2 A-Sun), while ETSU moves to 6-4-3 (2-3-1 A-Sun).

A senior from Colorado Springs, Colo., Saunders' strike marks her third career goal and first goal since Oct. 7, 2004, in a 6-0 win over Lipscomb.

The match is the sixth time this season that Campbell's outcomes have been decided by one goal, including two draws.

The Buccaneers came out shooting in the seventh minute of play as Morgan Jutras lifted an offering over the back line of Campbell's defense to set up Jordan Monty. After Campbell's keeper Anna DiTommaso was pulled from the goal, Monty struck a right-footed attempt that deflected off the left post.

ETSU created yet another quality chance in the 40th minute as Aubree Snyder, a senior midfielder from Reading, Pa., connected with a volley from just outside the six-yard box, but was denied as DiTommaso recorded one of her four first half saves, leaving the game scoreless heading into the half.

The Buccaneers broke through first on a Monty strike in the 49th minute. After DiTommaso was lured out of goal, Monty, A sophomore forward from Mesquite, Texas, dribbled past a Campbell defender and capitalized for her seventh goal of the season.

Campbell's first dangerous attempt came in the 63rd minute after Danielle Mandela connected with a cross from the left flank off the foot of Mary Trigg. Rachel Van Horn, a freshman from Thousand Oaks, Calif., left her feet and stopped Mandela's offering to secure ETSU's one goal lead.

The Fighting Camels used nearly every second of regulation to even the score at 1-1. In the 90th minute, Ilene Fahle split the Buccaneers' defense and found Saunders who fired a shot into the lower left corner of the net. Fahle's assist is Campbell's third of the season, and first of her career.

Anna DiTommaso kept ETSU's offense in check making two clutch saves in the overtime periods. In the 94th minute, Jordan Monty fired left-footed blast into the upper left corner of the goal, but DiTommaso punched the ball away from danger. Just three minutes later, DiTommaso made yet another leaping save off an ETSU golden goal attempt to leave the score knotted 1-1.

ETSU out shot Campbell 18-9, with an 8-7 advantage in shots on goal.

Anna DiTommaso recorded seven saves on the day, while ETSU's Rachel Van Horn tallied 6.
