ASHLAND, Ohio. – No. 21 McKendree women's soccer was defeated by Wayne State from a last-minute goal scored in the second overtime at Ferguson Field on Friday.
The Warriors got out to a lead early, scoring within the first two minutes from a goal that just found the inside of the far post.
McKendree would get five shots of their own to put pressure on the Wayne State keeper but would not find the back of the net. Senior forward Aubrey Andrews broke through in the second half, after a pass from junior forward Maddie Mauch found her inside the 18-yard box. Andrews put a well-placed shot in the bottom corner to tie the game back up in the 77th minute.
In the overtime periods, McKendree would keep the pressure up, getting three more chances in on the net. Unfortunately, it was a shot buzzer beating shot from the Warriors that found the very upper left corner to put the game away.
Senior goalkeeper Peyton Baker made a season high of nine saves in the contest.
