Southeast Missouri State soccer team plays Austin Peay to 1-1 tie

Two of the Ohio Valley Conference's expected soccer contenders could not decide a winner Sunday as Southeast Missouri State and host Austin Peay battled to a 1-1 tie in Clarksville, Tenn.

The Redhawks, picked third in the OVC preseason poll, are 2-4-2 overall and 1-0-1 in league play after having their first two conference matches on the road. They are unbeaten in their last three contests.

The Governors, the OVC's No. 2 preseason selection, are 6-1-2 and 1-0-1.

Austin Peay scored first, with just 5 minutes, 55 seconds left in the opening half on a penalty kick by reigning OVC player of the year Tatiana Ariza.

Southeast needed just 22 seconds in the second half to forge a deadlock.

Sophomore forward Erin Shulman scored on a give-and-go from freshman Natasha Minor.

It was Shulman's second goal of the season, tied with Minor for the team lead.

The score remained tied through 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute sudden-death overtime periods.

Southeast senior goalkeeper Ashton Aubuchon finished with seven saves.

Austin Peay held a 16-6 advantage in shots -- it was 13-2 after halftime -- and a 10-0 edge in corner kicks.
