LA GRANDE, Ore. – Sophomore forward Alexandria Cuaresma drilled a penalty-kick goal to tie the match in the 74th minute, and the EOU women’s soccer team ultimately fought College of Idaho to a 2-2, double-overtime draw on Saturday afternoon at the EOU Soccer Field.
Cuaresma’s tally was her third of the year for EOU (7-4-3, 4-2-2 CCC), while freshman midfielder Veronica Sullivan netted the Mountaineers’ other goal in the 27th minute.
After College of Idaho (6-5-1, 2-4-1 CCC) notched a goal in the 32nd minute, Sullivan responded with the unassisted equalizer with just over 19 minutes left in the opening stanza.
At the half, the Mountaineers owned a 10-8 edge in shots, including a 7-3 margin in shots on goal.
The Yotes regained the edge (2-1) in the 46th minute after Summer Jackson sent one home. The Blue and Gold fired six shots in the next 30 minutes before Cuaresma drilled the PK to make it a 2-2 affair.
EOU outshot College of Idaho, 5-2, in the extra frames, but the two CCC foes ultimately battled to a double-overtime draw on a rainy day in La Grande.
In goal, senior keeper Jessica Parker registered four saves for EOU.
