KENNESAW, Ga. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team had a great opportunity late against Kennesaw State as Anna Baker's shot in the 72nd minute glanced off the post and parallel to the goal line before an Owl defender knocked it away.
As the review confirmed the official's ruling, it proved to be a close call that was emblematic of Sunday's contest as the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
While the Owls ended the match with a 14-8 advantage in shots overall, Tech controlled the pace in the second half and collected more tries on net with the Golden Eagles chipping seven shots on goal to KSU's five.
Maggie Conrad had an impressive save in the first half with a diving stop off the Owls' Rebecca Womer for KSU's best chance for a goal in the 31st minute. The Owls had a couple of early tries in the second half, but Conrad was able to nab the ball with ease to end the threat. Conrad finished the match with five saves.
Caroline Shaw had two shots on goal, while Ava Bradford, Womer and Julia Balchen each had one.
Katie Toney had three of Tech's seven shots on goal, with Baker, Lucia Cuadra, Melina Hamm and Eva Baker each getting an attempt on frame.
The Golden Eagles (0-5-3) return to action Thursday as they travel to in-state rival Middle Tennessee for a 7 p.m. contest before returning home next Sunday for their final non-conference contest with a Senior Night visit from North Alabama at 6 p.m.
