The Emory University women's soccer team played to its third tie contest in five games this season, as Saturday's match between the Eagles and Transylvania University ended knotted, 1-1.

The match, played at Agnes Scott College as part of the Smart Women Sweat Challenge, brought Emory's record to 1-1-3 this season, while Transylvania fell to 2-1-1.

After a scoreless first half, Emory fell behind briefly in the second as Transylvania's Sarah Zembrodt scored off a rebound in the 63^rd minute to give the Pioneers a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles would answer right back, however, as senior Shayna Bryan put the Eagles on the board two minutes later to knot the contest at a goal apiece.  The goal was the first of the season for Bryan, who missed the first three games of the season after leading Emory in scoring in 2008.

Neither team would score the rest of regulation, or during either overtime period.

Emory's Kirsten Baecher earned the tie in goal, playing all 110 minutes and bringing her record to 0-1-3.  The junior made eight saves and allowed just the one goal, lowering her goals against average to 1.71 this season.

Emory will conclude its weekend at the Smart Women Sweat Challenge on Sunday at 2:00 PM, as the Eagles will face Millsaps College at Agnes Scott.

Game Notes
Emory's three ties this season are already the team's most since the 2000 season, when the Eagles recorded four ties... The program's record for ties in a season is six, set during the 1998 season, when Emory went 14-1-6... Today's contest was just the second this season that the Eagles have not held a lead in.
