IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Purdue women's soccer team and the Iowa Hawkeyes held steady through 110 minutes to conclude the Big Ten battle with a 1-1 draw Thursday. The stalemate marks the second double-overtime match in the past three conference games for Purdue and its third overall on the season.
With the draw, the Boilermakers move to a 5-2-3, 0-1-2 B1G record and pick up a road point in the conference standings.
Freshman Aly Mielke produced the second goal of her career during the 19th minute to give the Boilermakers the early lead. The goal came unassisted from the top of the 18 after gaining possession on a rebound from Iowa goalkeeper Cora Meyers.
Purdue held the lead for 43 minutes before the Hawkeyes responded in the second half. Iowa's Natalie Winters scored the equalizer on a shot placed in the limited opening between Katie Luce's hand and the crossbar.
Luce made her first appearance back in the net after a four-game hiatus due to injury. In the draw, Luce faced five shots on goal and produced three saves.
The Hawkeyes took control early in the first overtime, tallying a pair of shots and corner kicks each in the opening minutes. Freshman defender Julia Ware recorded a game-saving slide tackle to prevent Iowa from notching the golden goal.
In the 109th minute, Hannah Melchiorre took one of Purdue's best chances with a shot to the lower left post, but the Iowa keeper made the diving save.
Five Boilermakers secured a full 110 minutes on the pitch: Luce, Hannah Mussallum, Skylurr Patrick, Grace Walsh and Julia Ware.
Additionally, five freshmen started the game, setting a season-low. The Boilermakers entered the game averaging seven rookies per game.
