ETBU got things going early as Emilee Laxson notched her first career goal six minutes into the contest. SRSU would tie things up at 1-1 as Maria Alatorre scored her first goal of the match in the 26^th minute. Alatorre struck again in the 64^th minute on an assist from Rachel Hamilton. The match would remain 2-1 until Erin Miller found the back of the net from 25 yards out in the 87^th minute to send the game into overtime, 2-2.

ETBU and SRSU would not score in the two overtime periods as the game would end in the 2-2 tie. This was the first match of ASC play for ETBU as their season record goes to 2-0-3 on the season, and 0-0-1 in ASC play. SRSU's record will go to 2-2-1, and 1-0-1 in ASC play.

Head coach Erik Solberg says this on today's performance, "I thought the team did a fantastic job of playing whistle to whistle today. We came out and got an early goal and controlled most of the game. Despite a few defensive errors, we showed a lot of resolve in the second half today to come back and equalize and force a draw. We look forward to the challenge of getting better each day and playing two games next week."

ETBU will return to action next Wednesday at Hendrix College with a 5:00 p.m. start time for non-conference action. Then they will travel to LeTourneau University for an ASC match on Saturday with another 5:00 p.m. kickoff.
