22nd-Ranked Eagles tie Maryville, 1-1, in Home Opener

22nd-Ranked Eagles tie Maryville, 1-1, in Home Opener

The Emory University women's soccer team broke a streak of 20-consecutive home-opening victories on Saturday night, as the 22nd-ranked Eagles tied the Maryville College Scots 1-1 at the Woodruff P.E. Center.

Emory's lone goal came in the 22nd minute of play, as a corner kick off the foot of senior Talia Dweck came across the goal, where it found junior Emily Rubin, who converted a header for the goal.  The score was the first in Rubin's Emory career [watch the goal].

The score would remain 1-0 Emory until the 62nd minute, when Maryville's Jessica Petersen scored the equalizer unassisted on a breakaway.

Neither team would score through the rest of regulation or the two 10-minute overtime periods, forcing a 1-1 draw.

Dweck managed four shots for Emory in the contest, while freshman Hailey Morris and sophomore Liz Harlan each took three shots.  Junior goalkeeper Kirsten Baecher played all 110 minutes of the contest, making four saves.

The tie brings both Emory's and Maryville's records to 0-1-1 on the campaign. 

Emory will return to action tomorrow at 4:00 PM, as the Eagles will host Illinois Wesleyan University.
