Box Score

KENT, Ohio- Kent State and Miami (OH) battled to a 1-1 double-overtime tie in women's soccer on Friday night at Zoeller Field. With the result, Kent State moved to 7-3-3 overall and 2-1-2 in the Mid-American Conference. Miami is now 10-2-2 overall and 3-1-1 in league play.

Miami took a 1-0 lead in the 30^th minute of the first-half when Kelsey Dinges put a header in the net off of a RedHawks corner kick.

The Golden Flashes struck back fourteen seconds later when sophomore forward Jenna Hellstrom scored her fifth goal of the season. Kent State stormed down the field after the kick-off and Hellstrom took a pass from senior Stephanie Haugh inside the 18-yard box on the left side. Hellstrom then drove a shot past RedHawks goalkeeper Vic Manicai.

Neither team was able to break the deadlock the rest of the way. Kent State enjoyed a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks and Miami outshot the Flashes 11-9 in total shots.

Both teams had their chances to win the game but could not capitalize. Kent State had a good chance at the 23:40 mark of the second-half when Hellstrom crossed a ball across the front of goal for junior Madison Helterbran but Heltebran could not get a foot on the pass.

In overtime Kent State goalkeeper Stephanie Senn made two key saves to preserve the tie. In the first overtime Senn came up with a save at the 2:35 mark and then in the final overtime period Senn made a diving save with 1:48 remaining.

Senn tallied six saves overall today, while Miami's Maniaci posted two. Miami out-shot Kent State 17-10, but the Golden Flashes edged the RedHawks in corner kicks, 8-7.

The Golden Flashes return to action on Sunday at 1p.m. when they host Ball State.
