Soccer Ties Union 1-1 in 2OTs

Barbourville, Kentucky- The Brenau soccer team struck early, but a late goal by Union (Ky.) College resulted in a 1-1 tie in two overtimes in an Appalachian Athletic Conference matchup on Saturday.

The Brenau defense held fast throughout the remainder of the first half and late into the second half until the final 34 seconds as the Bulldogs' Rafaela Oliveria scored the equalizer to send the game to overtime.

After two overtimes, neither team could seize an advantage as the game ended in a draw.

Brenau held a 15-10 shot advantage in the match.
