KEY PLAYS
  • At the 19:04 minute mark of the first half, Middle Tennessee was awarded a penalty kick after Samford committed a foul just inside the 18-yard box. Peyton DePriest would step up for the Blue Raiders, placing the ball in the bottom left corner of the net to give MTSU a 1-0 lead.
  • The Bulldogs had their best chances of the first period come from sophomore Caroline Donovan and junior Alyssa Conarton with 10 minutes left to play. However, both players would have their shots blocked by the Blue Raider backline to keep Samford scoreless heading into the break.
  • Samford leveled the match with 13 minutes left in regulation after Zoe Perrin recorded her first career goal. Junior forward Taylor Yount found the feet of Perrin at the top of six-yard box allowing for her to easily slot the ball past MTSU's goalkeeper and into the lower right corner of the net. The Bulldogs ripped off one more shot and earned one additional corner, but were unable to convert those opportunities to push the match into overtime.
  • Both overtime periods saw a handful of chances for each team, including four shots and two corner kicks for Samford. The Blue Raiders tallied five shots and one corner of their own, but neither team put away its chances in front of goal for a final 1-1 decision.
