NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The North Florida women's soccer team played all 110 minutes in a rainy night in Nashville, Tenn., but ultimately neither team managed to break the deadlock, ending in a 0-0 draw.
Â
"Lipscomb is a great team and is having a good start to their season," said head coach Robin Confer. "We knew we would have to be organized as a team."
Â
The Ospreys (2-9-1, 0-1-1 A-Sun) recorded their first draw and shutout of the season. Their regular-season record at Lipscomb now sits at 4-0-2.
Â
Senior goalkeeper Megan Dorsey tallied a season-high 13 saves in her first shutout of the season and 11th of her career.
Â
"Dorsey once again had a great game and a well-deserved shutout," added Confer. "We created a couple good chances late but I still think we can be a little smarter and cleaner in the final third."
Â
North Florida had their best chances to score late in regulation and in the second overtime period. Towards the end of the second half, junior Lanie Keating delivered a long strike which ricocheted off of the cross bar, and the Bisons defender was able to get a touch on the ball before freshman Hanna Parado had a chance to find the net.
In the 105th minute, senior Jill Holdsworth delivered a well-placed corner kick into the box, but the Bisons defense was able to clear the ball away after saving a Jenna Steininger shot.
Â
The Bisons (7-4-2, 1-0-1 A-Sun) led in both the shot advantage (26-14) and shots on goal advantage (13-6).
Â
The Ospreys travel to Highland Heights, Ky., for a Sunday noon matchup with the Norse of Northern Kentucky.
Â
"Now our focus is on NKU and getting the team prepared and ready for Sunday," concluded Confer.
