UNLV WOMEN'S SOCCER

Box Score

Despite a big advantage on total shots on the night, UNLV women's soccer could turn only one of those 21 shots into a goal as it finished in a 1-1 double-overtime tie at in-state rival Nevada, Reno in Mountain West women's soccer action Friday night at Mackay Stadium. In what was the final contest of the year for both teams, the Rebels finished the season with a 9-8-2 mark, 4-6-1 in the league, while UNR moved to 4-14-2, 1-9-1 in MW play.

Both teams also split the three points available as part of the Governor's Series contest, the all-sports competition between the two schools that is presented by NV Energy and presented by Barrick Gold. This is the second time in three years the teams have split their game and the points in the Governor's Series, following a tie at Reno in 2012 as well. UNLV won the points in 2013 with a 2-1 overtime victory. Friday's contest is also the third straight between the school to go to double-overtime.

The two goals in the game came within a 3:12 span early in the first half. The Wolf Pack scored their first goal in the 14th minute when Chrisalyn Fonte sent a high arching shot from 20 yards out into the back of the game. That lead was short-lived however, as senior defender Kristen Sankey tied the game for the Rebels in the 17th minute, thanks to her free kick from 30 yards out that got past UNR goalkeeper Devyn Bryar.

That was the final goal of the game, despite UNLV taking a total of 15 shots in regulation, including all eight shots of the second half. With no additional score, the game would go into overtime, and UNLV again dominated the action with a 6-1 margin on shots, but it could not cash any of the scoring chance into a goal.

UNLV's final edge was 21-6 on shots, and 10-2 on shots on goal. Corner kicks were also 9-1 in favor of the Rebels. Jordan Sallee made one save for UNLV, while Bryar recorded nine for the Wolf Pack.
