DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle women's soccer team (4-4-3, 2-3-3) notched its seventh shutout of the season on Saturday after holding Florida Southern (6-1-3, 3-1-2) to a scoreless tie at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.
 
Prior to Saturday's game, the Eagles honored senior defender Hanna Rolfsen who has been instrumental in ERAU's seven clean sheets on the year. Freshman goalkeeper Dana Ruchti was solid in goal for the Blue and Gold as she played all 110 minutes and made four big saves en route to her fourth shutout of the year.
 
"Tonight, we honored senior Hanna Rolfsen for her tremendous career here," ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon said. "I wish we could have earned three points tonight rather than the tie to give her a proper sendoff. Once again, we had fantastic possession and executed well until the final third. Tonight's game was a reflection of our struggles this season- we simply can't seem to finish despite outplaying teams. But our group worked hard again and gave it their best."
 
The Eagles had the better of the possession in the first half, but they were unable to convert on a 2-0 advantage in shots and a 3-0 advantage in corner kicks in the first 45 minutes of play.
 
In the second half, the Eagles continued to control much of the possession and bested the Mocs 6-3 in shots and 6-0 in corner kicks. The Mocs best chance of the half came in the 73^rd minute when Alex Moberley found herself in a one-v-one situation with Ruchti, but the ERAU freshman was up to the challenge as she came off her line to turn back Moberley's shot from point-blank range.
 
Just minutes later, Norrstrom was able to come up with a save on Emmie Johansson's shot. After that play, each team managed just one shot apiece, but both attempts missed the mark, sending the game to overtime.
 
The additional 20 minutes of play saw the Eagles with a 5-3 edge in shots, but once again, both goalkeepers recorded big saves for their respective teams, resulting in the scoreless tie.
 
Saturday marked the third time in four games that the Eagles have competed in a double overtime contest, and five Eagles played all 110 minutes, including Ruchti, Emmie Johansson, Sophie Brundin, Guro Naess Berge and Megan Smith.
 
The Eagles will have a one-week break before returning to action against Rollins in Winter Park, Fla. on Oct. 21. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.
