The battle of the Red Dragons held true as the SUNY Oneonta and Cortland women's soccer teams played to a scoreless draw today on Red Dragon Soccer Field. The tie moves Oneonta to 3-3-1 overall and 0-0-1 in the SUNYAC as Cortland moves to 2-3-3 overall and 0-0-1 in the SUNYAC.
 
The two teams played an even match, both creating opportunities in the regulation time frame. Oneonta controlled the overtime, but was unable to find the back of the net.
 
Oneonta's best opportunity came in the 76^th minute of play when they had a flurry of shots on the frame. The first came off a shot from Casey Walsh (Pearl River/Pearl River). Walsh's shot came from the right side that was perryed out by Cortland's goalkeeper, Rachel Axt.  Senior Amanda Regensburger (Selden/Newfield) tried to redirect the ball with a header but Axt was up to the play as she pushed the ball over the crossbar.

Sophomore Liz Lasota (Cutchogue/Mattituck) took a corner kick, less than a minute later, that found the head of classmate Kayla Ceschini (Miller Place/Miller Place), but was just put over the crossbar to keep the game at 0-0.

Cortland countered with a barrage of shots of their own, their best opportunity coming at the 89:37 mark off Amanda Margolis. Margolis broke free about 15 yards out and struck a shot on goal, but Oneonta's keeper, Rori Stark (Brewster/Brewster), was up to the task to send the game into overtime.

The two overtime periods were played between the 18's with neither keeper having to make a save that would have been considered trouble.

Oneonta held a slight advantage in shots at 14-11 with a 10-5 on goal edge.

Stark made 5 saves in the game while her counterpart Axt made 10.

Cortland won the penalty kick shoot out (5-4) for home field advantage, if the two teams are tied at the end of the year.

Oneonta will be in action again tomorrow, Saturday, September 28th when they host Oswego for a game starting at 1:00 p.m.
