Golden Eagles Force Draw With North Texas 2-2

Box Score
TULSA, Okla.-Just two days after dropping their home opener against Tulsa, The Golden Eagles went on the road against North Texas and came away with a 2-2 draw in double-overtime.

The Golden Eagles (0-1-1) struck first with a goal by Senior Maria Grados in the 4th minute. Grados goal was the first of the season for ORU. However, the lead was short lived, as North Texas (0-0-1) answered back with a strike from 40 yards out in the 10th minute, and again in the 31st minute.

Down 2-1 with less than 10 minutes to play in regulation, Senior Anna Bickers sent home the equalizer off a free kick from Grados. The remainder of the game would be a defensive struggle, and two overtime periods would not be enough to decide the winner; the game ended in a draw.

North Texas outshot the Golden Eagles 24-10. ORU Keeper Amanda Wheeler came out of the match at halftime and was replaced by freshman Helen Erb, who finished the game and picked up five saves.

The Golden Eagles will seek their first win of the season against Sam Houston State at home on Friday, August 26 at 7:00 p.m.
