Yes, you're reading that correctly. The match-up last night between Yavapai College and Eastern Arizona College Women's Soccer resulted in a tie, with the game score being 0-0. No goals were scored in this game, but that did not stop each team from trying their absolute hardest to get onto the board. These two teams were so evenly matched, that there are definitely some highlights that can be accounted for.
Early in the game, Yavapai started with some great defense, especially from #7
Maddie Antonini and #27
Chloe Brand, but the core of the defense had to have come from Goalkeeper #00
Talon Bennett, who put her heart and soul into blocking every single ball that came her way. She was able to match this intensity throughout the duration of the match, and it helped inspire her teammates to play with the same intensity. This would lead to offensive actions taken by #17
Morgan McLane, as well as back to back shot attempts from #16
Reagan Peterson and #13
Paola Carrillo. After some shot attempts from the opposing team, as well as another shot attempt from #10
Kiera Campbell, the scoring tries took a bit of a lull for a while, as defense began to take over the game. Some defensive plays include a great slide tackle from #24
Ade Bonner, and some helpful reinforcements from #25
Victoria Taylor. As the first half would come to a close, the visiting Gila Monsters began to step up their offense, but all shot attempts were thwarted by the amazing Bennett, who would refuse to let anything get past her.
The second half starts, and YC began to try a little harder to score to make the game competitive. A close shot attempt from Campbell, as well as some shot attempts from #14
Eva Diaz and #2
Ziyanna De Los Reye Guerrero, would help keep the ball on the opponent's side of the field. But as the shot attempts came to a close, Eastern Arizona got the bright idea to start trying shooting as well. More defensive mastery from Bennett, as well as some great saves by Guerrero, and YC would be safe for the time being. A few more shots from
Kiera Campbell, as well as a last ditch effort from #4
Ava Manwill, and that would be about it. No team would score, and the tie would be in the record books for good.
