XULA plays #10 Life to tie in huge SSAC match

MARIETTA, Ga. - Xavier Women's Soccer gave a nationally prominent team all it could handle here Sunday, eventually tying No. 10 Life 2-2 in conference play. 

XULA (5-2-2, 4-0-1 SSAC) produced 12 shots in the match, 5 of which were on goal, while fending off 21 shots, 10 on goal, from Life (6-1-2, 4-1-1). All told, freshman keeper Aylin Yildirim made 8 saves on the day.

The Gold Nuggets also shook off an early goal by Life, which scored in the third minute. 

Juliana Kottbauer evened the score with a free kick in the 24th minute, and Anita Roese gave Xavier a lead in the 39th minute thanks to an assist by Maureen Owusu. Life tied the score with a late goal. 

Sunday marked the end of a lengthy road trip for the Gold Nuggets, who were the visitors in four straight Southern States Athletic Conference matches. 

XULA returns home next week, however, with a home match against Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at 1 p.m. on Thursday in Metairie's Lafreniere Park.
