There couldn't have been a more even-keeled game this afternoon between IU and Illinois (5-4-3) at Jerry Yeagley Field. The first two goals of the game were scored in the first ten minutes. Then, both teams held each other scoreless for the remaining 100 minutes of play, including two overtime periods.
Sophomore midfielder Devon Beach got the Hoosiers on the board in the 6th minute, when junior midfielder Chloe McKay sent a through ball near the middle of the 18 yard box that Beach promptly sent to the back of the net. It was her fourth goal of the year, which makes her the team leader in points with 12.
Following a Indiana foul in the 10th minute, Illini sophomore midfielder Marissa Mykines sent a free kick from 25 yards out into the upper left corner to tie the game at one a piece.
Both teams had ample opportunities to take the lead, but none could capitalize on them. Indiana and Illinois finished with 16 shots each.
IU moves to 9-3-1 (1-2-1) on the year.
