Box Score DENTON, Texas (Oct. 11, 2017) - Maddi Nolton connected on a penalty kick for Texas Woman's University for a 1-1 tie with Texas A&M-Commerce in the 14^th minute, but neither team would register another goal in a double overtime tie Wednesday night at TWU Soccer Field.
 
The Pioneers (4-6-3, 1-4-2 LSC) totaled 20 shots and seven on goal compared to 17 and five by the Lions (8-2-3, 4-2-1 LSC). The 17 shots by TAMUC were the most allowed by a TWU opponent this season.
 
Katie Givens of TAMUC took a high shot from 20 yards out in the 12^th minute that just cleared the fingertips of keeper Maddie Vickroy for a 1-0 Lion lead.
 
Less than two minutes later, Nolton attempted a penalty kick and found success to even the score at 1-1.
 
Chelsea Martin had a good look at the 33-minute mark, but the shot was caught by Lone Star Conference Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year Caitlin Duty. Allie Chapman booted an attempt a minute before the half, but the ball went just over the high bar.
 
Martin took a pair of shots in the final 10 minutes of regulation, but the first was saved and the second was high. The teams headed into overtime tied 1-1.
 
The Pioneers fired off three shots during OT while the Lions failed to register any to bring the game to a second extra period. TAMUC nearly claimed a goal in the 108^th minute, but TWU was able to use a team effort to stop the shot from entering the net.
 
Head Coach Babak Abouzar said, "We gave up an early goal but showed our resiliency and got one right back. Haley did a really good job of going backline and earning a PK and Maddi stepped up and finished it. I felt we should have scored in the second half, but it's good to start the second part of conference with a result against a quality team."
 
The Pioneers head to Midwestern State Sunday for a 2 p.m. contest.
