YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University soccer team (1-3-2) tied with Youngstown State University (2-4-1), 0-0, in double overtime Sept. 13 at Farmers National Bank Field.
Redshirt junior Mabel Dunn (Oakville, Ontario-White Oaks Secondary) recorded her third career shutout and tied her career-high minutes at 110. The scoreless draw was the first for the Eagles since Oct. 16, 2016, against Kent State.
The Penguins controlled the game for the first 10 minutes, keeping the ball in their attacking half and getting two shots off. Eastern Michigan then went on the offensive, taking over possession and firing off 14 shots in the final 35 minutes of the first half.
Freshman Amanda Cripps (Bradford, Ontario-Trinity Catholic) entered the match in the 29th minute and made her presence known. In the final 16 minutes of the first half, Cripps took six shots from inside the box. However, her attempts were either saved or blocked by Youngstown State.
After the break, the Eagles continued to control the game. Redshirt junior Nicole Remedios (Ajax, Ontario-Archbishop Dennis O'Connor) tried to get things started early, firing off a shot in the 51st minute from 25 yards out, but her shot went over the crossbar.
73 minutes in, Eastern earned back-to-back corner kicks. Despite finding an Eagle in the box both times, the Penguins were able to knock the ball away before EMU could convert.
The Eagles made one more scoring push in the final two minutes when redshirt senior Peyton Davis (North Ridgeville, Ohio-Holy Name) shot a laser towards the top of the goal, but the YSU goalkeeper managed to get a hand on it and make the save.
Eastern led Youngstown State 32-to-12 in shots and edged the Penguins eight-to-two in corners.
Eastern Michigan closes out its non-conference road slate Sunday, Sept. 15 when it visits the University of Dayton at 1 p.m.
