Seattel Redhawks 1 Portland State Vikings 1 Draw
In a midweek matchup, the Seattle University women's soccer team drew 1-1 in double overtime with Portland State University for their first tie of the season. Despite controlling the score for most of the game and taking a first half 1-0 lead, the Redhawks could not come out of Oregon with their first road win of the season. SU is now 5-5-1 on the season.
With less than five minutes remaining in the first half, junior Kara Kuttler found the back of the net for the sixth time this season. The Portland State goalkeeper attempted to clear the ball out of the box and Kuttler intercepted it to get SU on the board right before halftime. The Redmond, Wash. native tallied five shots in the game, three of which were on goal.
Prior to Kuttler's goal, PSU came out of the gate firing and kept goalkeeper Madison Goverde on her toes. The Seattle 'keeper had a season-high 10 saves on the night. Just as the game got underway they fired off consecutive shots, before SU could get the ball to their end of the field. The Vikings outshot the Redhawks 21-12, with 11 shots on goal to SU's four. Until late in the second half, the SeattleU defense was able to keep the Portland State offense at bay.
