Box Score

South Dakota State women's soccer and Summit League leader Denver played to a 1-1 draw Friday afternoon at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium.

For the third time this season, the Jackrabbits finished in a tie, and now stand at 4-0-3 on the season and in Summit League play.

Denver sits at 8-1-1 overall and 8-0-1 in league play.

SDSU held a 9-8 edge in team shots with seven of the nine on goal. Four of Denver's eight shots were on goal. Hewitt and Hansen each recorded two shots with both being on goal while four other Jacks attempted a shot.

Taylor Lock and Hailee Fischer split time once again at goalie and combined for three saves in the game.

State's streak of six consecutive shutouts to open the season came to an end in the tenth minute as Denver's Natalie Beckman gave the Pioneers an early lead.

Maya Hansen scored her fifth goal of the season in the 66th minute on a shot just outside the box to tie the game at 1-all. Gabby Vivier-Hannay and Eden Brooker each were awarded with an assist on the play.

Following the goal, Reagan Anderson's shot in the 72nd minute was saved. Neither team was able to get a shot off until Denver threatened in the 81st minute with a shot wide left.

As time was running out in regulation, Rachel Hewitt fired a shot in the 89th minute that was saved and deflected out of bounds, but the Jacks couldn't capitalize on the corner kick in the final minute, stretching the game to overtime.

Both the Jacks and the Pioneers were able to get a shot off in the first overtime period, but both goalkeepers were there to record the save. At the end of the first 10 minutes of overtime, the game remained deadlocked at 1-all.

Looking for one last chance to break the tie, two late shot attempts in the final two minutes by Denver were unsuccessful, forcing a tie between two of the top three teams in the Summit League.

In a physical battle, each team was assessed for a yellow card in the match with Denver's coming in the 74th minute and SDSU's coming in the second overtime period.
