MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee soccer team (0-0-2) battled to another 0-0 double overtime draw Friday night, taking nearby Lipscomb (1-1-1) to the limit at Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium.

LU’s Anna Buhigas stayed busy in front of the net, grabbing two saves in the first period and six in the second, while notching one in the second overtime frame for a total of nine. MT keeper Kelsey Brouwer saw action in the second stanza, snagging two saves.

Kate Loye led the Blue Raiders with six shots, including four on goal, while Tori Hawkins recorded four shots with three on goal. The Bisons were paced by Baylee Linnell with five shots, while Molly Bray and Ellen Lundy each had a shot on goal.
