GSU Duels Lamar to Scoreless Draw

GRAMBLING, La. | The Grambling State University women's soccer team battled to a 0-0 draw in a highly competitive matchup Sunday night against Lamar University at the GSU Soccer Complex. 
 
GSU's Aimee Benton showcased her defensive skill with two crucial saves that denied Lamar, preserving the tie. 
 
The Tigers moved to 2-2-1 on the season, while the LU moved to 1-1-1.
 
"I'm really pleased with how our team battled and competed against Lamar. They went 15-2-2 last year making the NCAA tournament and are picked to win their conference again this year. This was a good test and result," said GSU Head Coach Justin Wagar. "We hit the post twice in the game and had a 1 vs 1 with the keeper late that we just missed. We are growing as a team as we learn to gel together. We hope to keep improving as our young season continues."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • In the 40th minute of the first half Sophia Lezizidis had the chance to put GSU on the board but was blocked by Nicole Panis.
  • In the second half, Lamar University's Isela Ramirez drew a foul outside the penalty area only for the penalty kick to be denied by Benton.
