Lions Tie Northeastern State, 1-1
The No. 22 Texas A&M
University-Commerce women's soccer team recorded a 1-1 tie against
host Northeastern State on Thursday afternoon in Tahlequah,
Oklahoma. It is the second-straight tie for the Lions, who
tied Texas Woman's (0-0) on Tuesday afternoon.
"We did everything right for
the second game in a row - except for score," said head coach Neil Piper.
In the tie, the Lions (12-2-3, 6-1-2 LSC) out shot the RiverHawks by a 24-to-8 margin including a 13-4 margin in the final 65 minutes. NSU (6-7-4, 3-3-3 LSC) got on the board first when Brittany Nolan converted on a 30-yard free kick that bounced into the goal.
