The OSU goalie made two unbelievable saves that should of been in the net for IU.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,550]

And we move to the second OT.  Hoosiers had 2 more SOG but couldn't capitalize.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,550]

We certainly had our chances but it just wasn't meant to be and after 2 OT's match ends tied 1-1.  Women moved to (8-2-2) (2-1-1) and return to Bloomington to host Michigan on Sunday at 1:00.

Scoreless tie and we go to OT.  Reports from Indianapolis weather people of a storm system located west of Bloomington.  Hopefully it will bypass the city and not cause any weather delays.

And just like that, we have a lightning delay.

The referees have decided to call the game.   Pitch is drenched in rain and clearly unplayable.  Game will now be recorded as a draw.

I'll take a draw against a ranked team :)
