Box Score

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University women's soccer and Old Dominion battled to a 0-0 draw on Thursday night at FAU Soccer Stadium. Despite the tie, the Owls clinched an above-.500 record in Conference USA play, remained undefeated in the league, and have now gone seven matches and over a month without a loss.

The Finish:
In the two extra frames, the two teams combined for just four shots, and neither goalkeeper was forced to record a save. Only six of a combined 34 shots were on target all match long, and each team escaped with a point in the conference standings.

Notables:

FAU (8-6-1, 5-0-1 C-USA) notched the team's fifth clean sheet of the season, with Jennifer Ocampo saving four ODU (5-6-3, 2-3-1 C-USA) attempts, among 24 total shots by the visitors
Ocampo, the entire defensive backline (Ebba Blomqvist, Hailey Landrus, Alex Maxson and Carolynn Wotring) and holding midfielder Jessica Monteiro never left the field, tallying all 110 minutes on the night
Starting forwards Elisha Holmes and Pernille Velta and sub Thelma Hermannsdottir each had two shots, towards the team's 10

Quotable:
"Full credit to Old Dominion," said Head Coach Patrick Baker. "They came out and were really good, but also that's the scout. They're really good for the first 20-25, if you can get through (that) without giving up a goal. We're happy with the point, we're happy with the clean sheet."
