Wayne State 1 Southwest Minnesota State 1 2 OT

            Wayne State College settled for a 1-1 double overtime tie vs. Southwest Minnesota State Friday afternoon in Northern Sun Conference women's soccer played in Wayne, Nebraska.  The Wildcats outshot the Mustangs 32-10 in the contest, but could not get a second goal to clinch the victory.  WSC is now 4-3-4 overall and 0-2-4 in league play while SMSU is 1-6-2 and 0-4-2 in the NSIC.

            The visiting Mustangs opened the scoring early in the contest as Kelly Fitzgerald found the back of the net on a 10-yard shot just right of the goal to put SMSU in front 1-0.  The score stayed that way until the 57:56 mark of the second half when Alexa Romek notched her first collegiate goal on a header off a corner kick in front of the goal, making the score 1-1.  The Wildcats were the aggressor in the second half, outshooting the Mustangs 14-3 and had several scoring chances.  With just under four minutes to play, Wildcat senior Megan Dias got free on a breakaway but her shot bounced off the right post, denying WSC of a golden scoring opportunity that sent the game into overtime. 

            In the overtime sessions, WSC outshot SMSU 7-4 and had three corner kicks to one for the Mustangs, but neither team found the goal ending the contest in a 1-1 double overtime tie.
