For a second consecutive match the Piedmont College women's soccer team found itself in extra time and played to a 1-1 draw with visiting Great South Athletic Conference opponent Spelman College tonight at PC's Walker Field. With regulation not enough to decide a winner the teams played two ovetime periods and left the field knotted at one goal apiece.

The tie moves Piedmont to 4-6-2 overall and 3-3-1 in the Great South and moves Spelman to 4-3-1 in both the conference and overall. The Lady Lions will return to action again on Saturday, October 7th as they face visiting conference foe Maryville College at Walker Field starting at 2:30.

In the sixth minute Katie Porter recorded her 15th goal of the season unassisted with a long shot over the keepers head. Spelman countered at the 22nd minute on an unassisted goal of their own.

Erin Porter recorded 11 saves between the posts including a pair of crucial overtime stops. In a clean, hardfought match SC held the shots on goal advantage 12-10 and corner kicks 8-6.
