Emory Opens UAA Play with 1-1 Tie against #13 Washington U.

Emory Opens UAA Play with 1-1 Tie against #13 Washington U.

The Emory University women's soccer team remained undefeated against Division III opponents, as the Eagles played to a 1-1 double-overtime tie with 13th-ranked Washington University (Mo.).

The Eagles are now 4-0-4 in their last eight contests, since losing their opening game of the season.  Washington dropped 7-2-1 on the season, and failed to win a game for the first time in their last seven outings.

Emory struck first in the contest, as a long shot from Talia Dweck was rebounded by junior Meghan McMahon, who knocked it in for her team-best fourth goal of the season in the 11th minute.  Dweck's assist was her team-best sixth of the season.

Washington would respond 13 minutes later, as Emma Brown notched her 10th goal of the season unassisted, knotting the contest at a goal apiece.  Neither team would score the rest of the way.

Emory's Kirsten Baecher made nine saves in her 110 minutes in goal, including a diving save in the second overtime to preserve the tie for the Eagles.

Emory will return to action next weekend, as the Eagles will travel to the University of Chicago for their second UAA game of the season on Saturday.

Game Notes:
Emory's four ties this season are the second most in a single season in the program's history, trailing only the 1998 team which played to six ties... Emory is now 14-5-2 all-time against Washington University... The Eagles did not allow a corner kick to the Bears during the game, while taking four of their own.
