SPOKANE, Wash. — In a hard-fought 90 minutes, the Mountaineers ultimately could not find an edge.

The Mountaineers produced nine shots on goal in the first half, compared to just three for Whitworth. Eastern tacked on 10 more shots in the second half, but neither team could find the back of the net.

Corynn Vigil, Brooke Ford, Kana Mateaki and Erika Skindlov each recorded three shots each. For Virgil, two of the attempts were registered as shots on goal. Whitworth’s Kalena Pfaeltzer was the team’s main source of offense, tallying three of the team’s six total shots.

In goal, Madeline Barker recorded two saves and walked off with a clean sheet.

Following the draw, Eastern will play its final non-conference game against Whitman College on Sept. 12 in La Grande. Cascade Collegiate Conference action begins on Sept. 16, when the team hosts Multnomah at 4 p.m.
