SALT LAKE CITY – The 16th-ranked Westminster women's soccer team couldn't repeat Thursday performance against Antelope Valley (Calif.) and they settled for a 1-1 draw in double overtime against that same Pioneer squad on Friday at Dumke Field.
 
Neither team found the net in the first half despite the Griffins (9-1-2) taking as 12-1 shot advantage into the intermission. Westminster would break through in the 49th minute when Lexi Tucker took a shot from the right of the penalty area and placed it just under the cross bar at the far post for her sixth goal of the year.
 
Antelope Valley (4-5-2) recorded the equalizer in the 64th minute on a free kick after a foul on Westminster's Maddie Lewis. Shawna Saitta took the kick and used the wind at her back to place it over the reach of Westminster keeper Abi Yanke and in the goal for her third goal of the year.
 
Neither team would find a winner over the next 26 minutes of regulation or during the two 10-minute overtime sessions. The Griffins got six shots away during the overtime periods with four of them on goal while they held the visitors to only one shot in the extra time. The final shot count was 28-5 in favor of Westminster and they had 17 shots on goal.
 
Rylei North led the Griffins with eight shots with five on goal, but she snapped her consecutive streak of games with a goal at four which ties her for the school record. Tucker took five shots in the game with four on goal with Jennifer Beaudoin, Jessica James, and Jacqueline Williams each taking two shots.
 
Yanke recorded a pair of saves and took the tie to move her record this season to 9-1-2.
 
Westminster will take Saturday off before returning to Dumke Field on Sunday for their Frontier Conference opener against Great Falls (Mont.) at 1 p.m. MT.
