Greencastle, Ind.- Â Keeping its unbeaten at-home streak alive, the DePauw women's soccer team finished in a 1-1 draw with Denison University after finishing the game 14 minutes early due to lightning. The Tigers moved to 8-2-3 overall and 1-0-1 in North Coast Athletic Conference play, while the Big Red moved to 4-2-5 for the season and 1-01 in conference play.
Â
In the first half, the Tigers had an edge over the Big Red in both shots and corner kick attempts, outshooting its opponents 4-2 and earning three corners while giving up just one in the first half. Despite having the looks on goal, in the 45th minute, Denison's Kate Dalimonte found the back of DePauw's net off a soaring free kick that just missed the gloves of
Aubree Empie.Â
Â
Down 1-0 at the start of the half, the Tigers immediately looked to attack Big Red's defense. DePauw's pressure on Denison's backline finally paid off in the 56th minute when
Annalise Grammel worked her way down the right side of the field and skipped a pass right to the feet of
Sydney Calisto for the equalizer.
Â
With momentum suddenly shifted in favor of the Tigers, DePauw tallied four shots to Big Red's two before play was halted and ultimately suspended due to lightning.
Â
The Tigers outshot the Big Red 10-7 for the evening but were even with Denison in corner kick attempts by the time the match wrapped. Empie was in goal for DePauw and tallied three saves for the night, while Molly Noga finished with four saves for the Big Red.

The Tigers are back on the road on Saturday, October 14, to face the Yeowomen of Oberlin College at 12 p.m.
