SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The women's soccer team played a hard-fought match with Charleston Southern Monday night at Snyder Field, which ended in a 2-2 tie after two overtime periods.
 
Sophomore Katie Beuerlein opened the scoring for the match, driving home a ball past Charleston Southern keeper Liz Amanda Brown to put Wofford up 1-0 at the 15-minute mark. Senior Lucy Etro was credited with an assist, giving Beuerlein a long leading pass into the box.
 
Wofford took the 1-0 lead into halftime, but could not hold the lead past the 60-minute mark. Buccaneer sophomore Anna Sells recorded the first of two goals for the match in the 62nd minute. Sophomore Lydia Frierson touched the ball to Sells in front of the net, drawing Terrier keeper Alex Carroll out and giving Sells a touch shot into the left corner.
 
The Terriers would strike again within four minutes of giving up the lead. Freshman Hayley Younginer scored her first career goal on a hard grounder past the keeper into the back-left corner of the net. Freshman Emma Fletcher notched her first career assist on the Younginer goal.
 
After back-and-forth shot attempts for each team, Sells blew by Terrier defender Kendall Stanley and knocked her second goal into the back right corner of the net to tie the game up at two with 9:30 left to play.
 
Neither team could convert on opportunities in the overtime periods, which led to the eventual tie.
 
Wofford head coach Amy Kiah was pleased with her team's effort Monday night.
 
"I thought we did some really good things and created quite a few offensive chances," Coach Kiah said after the match. "Defensively at times, we looked really good. We just had some breakdowns, so we've got to stay connected. I'm excited about where we are headed. We got quite a few players some time and they stepped up. We're excited about that and looking forward to the next game."
 
Wofford outshot the Buccaneers 21-12 for the match, and both teams finished with five corners apiece.
 
Both Carroll and Brown add a tie to their records. Each also recorded five saves with two goals allowed.
