BUENA VISTA, Va. – Although the Southern Virginia
University women's soccer team dominated possession in Friday's
double-overtime match – outshooting visiting Chowan
University 34-4 on the afternoon – the Knights were unable to
net a goal in front of the homecoming crowd and played the Hawks to
a 0-0 tie.
Southern Virginia's defense, anchored by Amanda Zweifel, Michelle
Riddle, Laura
Schow and Tamara Nagle,
was suffocating on Friday afternoon as the Knights only allowed the
Hawks two shots on goal in 110 minutes of play, both of which were
turned away by keeper Mariah
Flake.
While the Knights' recorded their second straight shutout, their
offense was unable to find the back of the net despite firing 16
shots on goal. Chowan's keeper recorded 13 saves in the
competition.
Women's soccer, now 5-5-1 on the season, returns to action
Tuesday, Oct. 12, when it hosts Bluefield College at The Fields.
The match will begin at 3:30 p.m.
