Box Score SEWANEE, Tenn. – Sewanee scored on a corner kick in a mad scramble in front of the goal in the second half but Maryville equalized with 10 minutes remaining in a 1-1 draw in women's soccer action Wednesday night in Maryville, Tenn.
The Tigers (3-0-2) dominated the run of play in the first half and posted six shots, two of those on goal, but Sewanee was unable to connect in the final third and create quality scoring chances. Sierra Lee missed an opportunity to put the Scots ahead in the 33
rd minute with a shot from 12 yards that sailed over the net.
Maryville was called for a hand ball in the box in the 42
nd minute, giving the Tigers a penalty shot, but
Kylene Monaghan's attempt was saved by Scots goalkeeper Sydney Mahr and the teams went to halftime scoreless.
Maryville again created a quality chance in the first 15 minutes of the second period, but an attempt from just inside the box by Anne Marie Konieczny flew just over the crossbar. Sewanee freshman
Arianna Shirak collected two of the team's six shots in the second half and saw her most extensive action so far this year after an injury to
Brianna Fee in the first 20 minutes of the action.
The Tigers broke through in the 73
rd minute after a corner kick by
Ashlyn Richards, with the ball ricocheting off at least two Sewanee players and then a Maryville defender before just crossing the goal line.
The Scots answered quickly, with Lee scoring from just outside the box on an assist from Chloe Chase, a low drive that bounced in front of Tigers goalie
Leah Atkins and got under her hands into the bottom left corner of the net in the 80
th minute.
Neither team was able to muster a good scoring chance in the final 10 minutes. Sewanee finished with a 12-10 advantage in shots and Mahr registered five saves compared to one for Atkins.
Sewanee travels to Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati on Saturday for a Noon CT kickoff.
