Bonnies Tie GW in Atlantic 10 Opener

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - The St. Bonaventure University women's soccer team generated several quality chances late in the game, but couldn't convert for a goal in a double-overtime scoreless draw against George Washington in the Atlantic 10 opener for both sides at McGraw-Jennings Field on Friday.

The Bonnies (5-4-2, 0-0-1 Atlantic 10) surrendered just one shot on goal over 110 minutes of game action while putting nine on target in the draw. George Washington (3-7-1) keeper Lindsey Rowe (2-6-1) made nine saves and Bonaventure's Jennifer Andrews (1-1-1) one as each keeper turned in their first shutout of the season.

After Kaitlin Krisko's header over the crossbar in the 13th minute and Tori Burchett's on-target volley in the 57th nearly found the back of the net, SBU continued to create scoring chances into each of the 10-minute overtime periods.

Nicole Rosso's attempt just 19 seconds into the extra frame from the far post was turned aside by Rowe, while senior defender Taylor Broderick sent a volley just wide from a tight angle in front with 40 seconds remaining.

SBU returns to action on Sunday against Richmond in another Atlantic 10 Conference matchup.

NOTES: The tie is the second of the year for SBU, who have had more than one tie in a season just three times since 2001 … Steve Mest and Brian Stavisky shared duties as on-site administrator ... Dawn Elizabeth sang the national anthem ... SBU wore all black while GW donned all white ... goalie Megan Junker, who had started the previous 10 games, did not play in the game ... Jordan Calabria was issued a yellow card in the 69th minute.
