EL PASO, Texas - For the sixth time this season, the East Carolina women's soccer team played extra time, this time playing to a 1-1 tie at UTEP Sunday afternoon at University Field. The Pirates move to 9-3-4, 3-2-2 in Conference USA action, while the Miners are now 10-6-2, 4-2-1 in C-USA play.
Alexis Foltz got the Pirates on board 31 minutes into the game, as she took advantage of a UTEP mistake, sending the ball into the back of the net for the unassisted goal. The game remained 1-0 in favor of East Carolina in the break.
Anoop Josan's goal in the 66th minute tied the game at one a piece, sending the game into overtime. ECU tallied five shots in the overtime period, forcing UTEP to make two saves. The Miners had only one shot in the extra time.
UTEP registered eight shots on goal compared to just three for the Pirates. Brittany Popoff and Jessica Salvi split time minding the net, stopping two shots. Amber Campbell made seven stops.
The Pirates had 15 total shots in the day, with three coming on goal. The Miners registered 12 shots, eight on goal.
"I thought we played a good game today," head coach Rob Donnenwirth said. "They really battled hard. Both teams had chances to win the game. It was unfortunate with the goal we gave up, but overall the team, I thought, did their best today. Now we have to get ready for our final home weekend."
East Carolina returns to Bunting Field this Friday, Nov. 2 as they host UAB at 3:00 p.m. The Pirates will then host Memphis Sunday, Nov. 4 at Noon for the final contest of the regular season.
