The Short Story: Two overtimes were not enough to decide a winner as St. Bonaventure and Robert Morris played to a 0-0 tie on Sunday afternoon.

Christina Sarokon was superb in goal for the Bonnies, credited with seven saves in her third shutout of the season. Her best save came after a handball by the Bonnies in their box gave Robert Morris a penalty kick in the 63rd minute. Kristie Hamilton's shot toward the top right corner was turned away by Sarokon.

St. Bonaventure had several golden chances to score. The Bonnies nearly scored the game-winner in the 94th minute when Lauren Hill's shot from 10 yards was true, but deflected out of play for a corner. On the ensuing corner kick, Gabriella Balseca put a header on net, but RMU keeper Becky Schoenecker was there for the save.

Hill had the Bonnies' best chance in the overtime when she got a failed clearing pass and broke in alone on Schoenecker. The Colonial keeper charged off her line and made a save with her right leg.
