GREEN BAY, Wis. – Goalkeeper Kaylin Lorbert made a season-high seven saves and posted her eighth career shutout, but Eastern Illinois women's soccer was also kept off the scoreboard in a scoreless draw with Green Bay Friday evening.

 

The Panthers (2-2-1) were shutout for a third consecutive game for the first time since September 2008. The scoreless draw was the ninth in program history and the first since 2008 at Austin Peay. But EIU had not played a nonconference opponent to a scoreless stalemate since Loyola in 2004.

 

The scoreless draw for Green Bay (1-1-2) was the second this season. The Phoenix also played Drake to double goose eggs in their regular-season opener. Eastern and Green Bay have played to a draw each of the last two seasons.

 

Lorbert made three of her seven saves in overtime. She also had two make a pair of saves in the game's first three and a half minutes. The senior has surrendered only two goals in 448 minutes so far this season, good for an impressive 0.40 goals against average.

 

Eastern was credited with only two shots on goal among its eight total shots. Green Bay also enjoyed an 8-3 edge in corner kicks. All three EIU corners came in a stretch of a minute and a half early in the second half. A header by Sam Balek was the lone shot the Panthers were credited with during that stretch.

 

Ashley Streid and Lauren Hoppensteadt were credited with EIU's shots in overtime. Streid forced UWGB goalkeeper Maddie Drusch to make a save in the 92nd minute and Hoppensteadt missed high in the 95th minute.

 

Hillary Blake, Caitlin Greene and Balek went the distance among the EIU field players. Streid (105 minutes), Hoppenstead (100) and Kaitlin Sullivan (98) also played more than the standard 90 minutes. Ashley Eck logged 86 minutes to lead the reserves and Sarah Rusk (21 minutes) made her season debut.

 

Eastern returns to action Sunday for a noon (CDT) kickoff at Indiana State.
