ADA, Okla. – Oklahoma Baptist's
Jadynn Daggs appeared to have the game-winning goal in the final minute against East Central on Thursday but an offsides call was issued and it resulted in a 0-0 tie in Great American Conference women's soccer action.
The Bison moved their record to 6-7-3 (5-2-3 GAC) in the process.
At the 88:54 mark, sophomore
Olivia Kenas' attempt hit the crossbar and the ball came back out to Daggs. Along the left post, Daggs raced in from a few yards out and headed it home. That apparent goal would be discounted, though, on a raised flag from the sideline referee.
That was one of 16 shots for the green and gold who out-gained the Tigers in that department 16-4. Eleven of those attempts were on-target as well.
In the first half, OBU made the most of its attempts with five total shots, three of which were on goal.
Katie Fowler got two of those while
Kaylee Swaner added the other. All those shots, though, were saved by Tigers goalie McKenna Leveling.
As for ECU, it attempted a lone on-target attempt from Baylee MetCalfe 43 ticks in which was denied by
Mia Pendleton.
Second-half competition further favored the visitors. In fact, OBU added 11 more shots to its total while East Central attempted just a pair.
The Bison had chances to score, especially early in the second stanza as Fowler,
Michaela White and
Makenzy Morgan all fired on-target. However, two of those shots were stopped by Leveling while the third, White's attempt, was saved by an ECU defender.
Over the remainder of the match, the Tigers' sophomore goalie added five more denials to her total which ended at 10.
Next week, OBU returns to the pitch with a road game against Northwestern Oklahoma State on Oct. 27 at 6 p.m.
