CARLINVILLE, IL – The Blackburn College women's soccer team scored a goal in the final minute to force a tie against Lyon College in a St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matchup Saturday.
Facing a 1-0 deficit, Blackburn took advantage when Lyon was called for a handball right outside of their goal box. Freshman Paige Schmelzer took the free kick and passed it across to freshman Grace Vidmar who was directly in front of the goal abou 20 feet out. Vidmar booted the ball right into the top left corner of the net to make it 1-1. Lyon was able to make one more advance to the goal but their attempt went far right, allowing the clock to expire with the tied 1-1 score. The goal stops a 12 match SLIAC scoreless streak.
The Beavers featured two goalkeepers who combined for 17 saves. Freshman Emma Zaidle had 10 with freshman Allison Nebelsick notching seven.
Blackburn will return to action Tuesday when they host Faith Baptist Bible College in nonconference action.
