ROCHESTER, Mich. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's soccer team picked up a point on Sunday (Sept. 17) with a 1-1 draw at Oakland.

The Golden Grizzlies were picked second in the Horizon League Preseason Poll.

The Mastodons struck first thanks to a quick start. Rylee Vruggink had three shots in the first 20 minutes. Then Oakland's miscue put an own goal on the board to give the Mastodons a 1-0 lead.

Oakland flipped control of the game for the majority of the remaining 70 minutes. They out-shot the Mastodons 14-3 after the 25-minute mark. The Golden Grizzlies' only goal of the contest came in minute 76, when Macey Wierenga converted a penalty kick.

Samantha Castaneda recorded four saves. Vruggink finished with a team-high three shots.

Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 4-3-3 and 1-0-1 in Horizon League action. Oakland goes to 2-4-3, 0-0-1. The Mastodons are back at home on Thursday (Sept. 21) when they welcome Cleveland State to the Hefner Soccer Complex as Horizon League play continues.
