LETU Women's Soccer Earns 1-1 Draw At Rhodes College

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Looking to remain undefeated on the season, the LeTourneau University women's soccer team came away with a 1-1 tie at Rhodes College in two overtimes at the Rhodes Soccer Field on Friday, September 7th.

The YellowJackets are now 3-0-1 on the season after conceding their first goal of the 2018 campaign while the Lynx are 1-1-1 overall.

How It Happened:
  • After LETU and Rhodes exchanged shots for the majority of the first half, Rhodes struck first with an unassisted goal in the 30th minute.
  • The Lynx would manage to maintain their lead for the remainder of the first half and carry their 1-0 lead into intermission.  
  • Looking to tie things up LETU managed to find an equalizer with a goal from Reagan Sandford coming off of a pass from Keely Hayden.
  • Rhodes pressured the YellowJackets into the attacking third of the field and earned a corner kick in the 80th minute, but saw freshman goalkeeper Mackenzie Wilbanks make a save before a blocked shot off the rebound by the LETU defense. The threat would manage to be the final offensive threat by either team in regulation.
  • In the first period of overtime, Rhodes once again threatened by earning two corner kicks which led to three shots, two of which would be denied by Wilbanks.
  • It would be the YellowJackets who controlled possession for the majority of the second overtime period, letting off three shots and a corner kick while keeping the ball in the attacking third.
  •  Despite the final ten-minute effort from LETU, the game ended in a 1-1 tie after 110 minutes of action.
Key Stats:
  • The YellowJackets and the Lynx both recorded 14 shots. Eight of those shots were on goal for LETU compared to seven for Rhodes.
  • Wilbanks, making her second career start, recorded six saves for the YellowJackets with five saves coming in the second half.
  • Sandford, Hayden and Madison Urbana each had two shots on goal for the YellowJackets, while Sandford scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season.
What's next?
