WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Second-half goals from Andrea Petrina and Maddy Duncan helped Purdue women's soccer overcome a halftime deficit in a 2-2 draw with rival Indiana that allowed the Boilermakers to retain possession of the Golden Boot traveling trophy.
Both teams scored a second-half equalizer. Petrina scored in the opening minute of the second half for the second time this season. It was her third goal of the season and sixth career. She finished with a Purdue record 12 shots and assisted on Duncan's goal in 78th minute that gave the Boilermakers (4-11-1, 2-7-1 B1G) a brief 2-1 lead.
Mykayla Brown scored both goals for the Hoosiers (7-7-4, 4-3-3 B1G), pushing her team-leading total to six goals this season. She scored in the 22nd and 82nd minutes. She was able to equalize only three minutes and 50 seconds after Duncan had given Purdue the lead.
Duncan's goal came on the 13th of the Boilermakers' program-record 18 corner kicks. The previous benchmark of 17 corners had stood since a 2002 NCAA Tournament win vs. Eastern Illinois, a game that also went 110 minutes before being decided in a penalty kick shootout.
Purdue entered the night with possession of the Golden Boot trophy after posting a 2-0 win at Indiana last season. For the trophy to change hands, the team without possession must win it back. The Boilermakers also kept possession of the Golden Boot via draws in Bloomington in 2005 and 2008.

Purdue recorded 14 of its 31 shots in the second half. The Boilermakers registered 30-plus shots in a game for the first time since a 1-1 draw at Youngstown State in September 2014. The result was the Hoosiers' fourth draw of the season and 10th dating back to the start of last season. Meanwhile, Purdue had not been part of a draw this year and has only had two games end in a tie dating back to the start of the 2015 campaign. The Boilermakers had not been part of a 2-2 draw since September 2013 vs. Seattle.
Indiana goalkeeper Sarah L'Hommedieu made four of her eight saves in the second half and two more in the second overtime. She made a number of good punch saves over the course of the night. She also received an assist from the left post when the goal frame stopped a shot by Petrina in the 58th minute.
Petrina scored with a diagonal shot from the right side of the 18-yard box into the top left corner of the net off an assist from Dagny Olson. She had scored in the first half of the Sept. 9 game against Utah that was canceled by weather before it became an official game, but otherwise it was her first official goal since scoring on a penalty kick in the Aug. 28 win vs. Cincinnati.
After serving in the corner kick that led to Duncan's go-ahead goal, Petrina finished with a goal and assist for the second time in her career. Mikayla Lasky initially headed down the corner kick and Duncan finished off the scramble with a relatively easy tap-in score. She became Purdue's first freshman to score this year and the fourth Boilermaker to record her first collegiate goal in 2016, joining Gianna Milaro, Vanessa Korolas and Dannah Williams. All four have scored their first goals in Big Ten play.

On her first goal, Brown won a battle with center back Megan Kaser at the top the 18-yard box. It led to a 1-v-1 chance vs. goalkeeper Jordan Ginther. Brown was able to score with a shot inside the right post.
The offsides flag did not go up as Brown broke free down the right flank via a lead pass from Veronica Ellis in the 82nd minute. It led to a semi-breakaway for Brown, who again capitalized on her 1-v-1 opportunity against the Purdue `keeper.
Hannah Mussallem, Duncan, Kaser and Williams all played the full 110 minutes as the Boilermakers' back four. Lasky logged 74 minutes to lead the reserves, remaining in the game after returning as a substitute in the 64th minute.
Purdue closes out its 2016 schedule Wednesday with a 7 p.m. home game vs. Michigan State.
