JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Belmont women’s soccer team (10-5-2, 4-4-1 A-Sun) ended its four match losing streak with a double overtime tie on Friday night at Jacksonville (6-10-1, 4-4-1 A-Sun). The tie keeps the Bruins in a three-way knot for fifth place in the Atlantic Sun and keeps the team’s hopes of advancing to the conference tournament for the first time in program history alive.

Despite outshooting the Bruins, 16-8, throughout regulation, the Dolphins were unable to get the ball past senior goalkeeper Micaela Crowley (Hoover, Ala.). Elizabeth Fink notched a game-high 10 shots but only two were on-goal. Seniors Sarah Brandt (Hendersonville, Tenn.) and Kari Lennon (Hoover, Ala.) and freshman Patience Whitten (Germantown, Tenn.) each tallied two shots for the Bruins.

Jacksonville dominated in shots, 20-10, but Belmont held a slim advantage in corner kicks, 4-3.

With tonight’s shutout, Crowley ties the program’s all-time record for shutouts with a total of 15. She also narrowed the gap to only 42 minutes to becoming the all-time leader in minutes played.

“Our goal tonight was to not allow Jacksonville to score any goals. We wanted to deny Keri Zwicker, who was the Preseason Player of the Year, from scoring.

“I thought that the girls in back played well. Micaela [Crowley] did a good job. She played all the way through both overtimes.

“We had some good chances but we didn’t play consistently enough to finish for a goal. Now we just need to get ready to play on Sunday.”

Belmont returns to action on Sunday at North Florida. The match is set to begin at 1 p.m. CT.
