GOLDEN, Colo. - #13 Colorado School of Mines dominated the second half and overtime, but was held to a 1-1 draw with CSU Pueblo on Sunday.
The Orediggers (4-0-2, 2-0-1 RMAC) remained unbeaten this year but were frustrated to not get the full three points as they outshot the Thunderwolves (3-1-1, 1-0-1 RMAC) 18-8 including 11-4 after halftime.
Playing on her senior day,
Chaney Brugman scored her third goal of the season, as she and Sam Scott were honored before the game.
Brugman found the net on a terrific finish at 25:08 to put Mines ahead early, but CSUP's Cara Siegel earned a foul in the box just 42 seconds later, and Litzy Serna converted from the spot to level it 1-1.
Mines had multiple scoring chances in the second half, including two breakaway chances by
Amena Nelson that were well-met by goalkeeper Nicole Genis, who kept her team in it with nine saves. The goal never came in regulation for the Orediggers, however, and despite three shots and two corners in the first overtime, the game finished knotted at one.
