Southeast soccer battles Memphis to 1-1 tie

Southeast Missouri State University's women's soccer team played host Memphis to a 1-1 double-overtime tie Tuesday night.

The Otahkians are 1-1-2 and the Tigers are 0-2-2.

After a scoreless first half, Memphis grabbed a 1-0 lead midway through the second half and it looked like the game would end that way.

But Southeast's Erin Slattery scored just seconds before the end of regulation, off an assist from Ashley DeRoy. Neither squad scored in the overtime periods.

Memphis held a 17-13 edge in shots. Southeast goalkeeper Amanda Wrzos was credited with five saves.
