EASTON, Mass.-- Junior Alex Eckhardt (Marshfield, Mass.) made four saves to pick up her third shutout of the season and eighth of her career as Stonehill battled Southern Connecticut to a scoreless double overtime Northeast-10 Conference women's soccer tie Saturday afternoon at Skyhawk Field.
The host Skyhawks (3-2-3, 2-2-3 Northeast-10) held a 16-13 advantage in shots over the visiting Owls (3-5-1, 0-5-1 Northeast-10), including a 5-1 edge in the extra sessions, but were unable to capitalize on several solid chances, including a pair in the late stages of the first overtime. Southern Connecticut held a 12-11 edge in shots in regulation, including an 8-5 margin in the second half, as graduate student Stephanie Lyons (Kent, Wash.) made nine stops in net for the Owls on the afternoon.
Stonehill, which is 3-1-2 in its last six outings after playing its second scoreless tie of the season, heads to Manchester, N.H. on Tuesday afternoon to take on Saint Anselm in a Northeast-10 outing that begins at 3:30 p.m., while Southern Connecticut hosts Pace in a Northeast-10 match on Tuesday evening in New Haven, Conn. that begins at 7:00 p.m.
