BEXLEY, OHIO – The Otterbein University women’s soccer team scored the game’s first two goals, but eventually played rival Capital University to a 2-2 draw Saturday afternoon in Ohio Athletic Conference action.

Junior tri-captain Rachel Denz extended the Otterbein lead early in the second half, taking a ball from Morgan Hendrickson and burying the shot home at the 58:47 mark.

Capital (5-7-2, 3-1-1 OAC) cut the deficit in half with a header goal from Alexa Bosanac in the 82nd minute, and tied the game with less than three minutes remaining on a goal by Natalie Fiorelli.

Neither team would score in either overtime period as the match ended in the 2-2 draw.

The Cardinals held a 15-13 shot advantage and also took eight of the game’s ten corner kicks.
