SCOUTING THE MASTODONS
The Mastodons return to the Hefner Soccer Complex after a 1-1 tie against Oakland at the Grizz Dome on Tuesday (March 30). The 'Dons got a result against an Oakland team that has the second most points in the Horizon League. Oakland entered the contest on a four-game win streak. Oakland's Alexa Sabbagh scored for the Golden Grizzlies at the 33rd minute after passes by Hollie Clement and Sami Lopez. Oakland rested on the 1-0 lead the remainder of the first half. It stayed a 1-0 game until 64:24 when Mackenzie Evans scored her first collegiate goal after a corner kick by Rylee Vruggink. Cesiley LaCourt took the pass from Vruggink and sent the ball to Evans where the sophomore found the back of the net two yards outside the goal box. The first overtime featured little offense, with the Golden Grizzlies and 'Dons each recording one shot on goal. The second overtime saw Purdue Fort Wayne control the majority of the play with the 'Dons taking all four shots in the period. The final attempt came with less than 15 seconds left when Emily Gunsett's shot was saved to make the final 1-1.
