Mercer Earns Point in 0-0 Overtime Draw Against Chattanooga Sunday
10/15/2017 5:12:00 PM | Women's Soccer
MACON, Ga. – The Mercer Bears' women's soccer squad earned a point after their first draw of the season, a 0-0 decision with Chattanooga, Sunday on Senior Day at Bear Field. Sunday's match was the final home match of the regular season for the Bears and served as Senior Day. Seniors Valeria Bermeo, Emma Chandlee and Isabel Rothschadl were honored before the match.
STAT OF THE MATCH
Despite not being able to find the back of the net, the Bears recorded 29 shots on the afternoon.
WOMAN OF THE MATCH
Senior midfielder Isabel Rothschadl was the woman of the match, taking a team-high six shots throughout the contest.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Bears came out very aggressive, dominating possession throughout the first half. Mercer was unable to record a goal in the first period but entered the halftime break outshooting the Mocs, 7-6.
Chattanooga took their first shot of the match in the 29th minute but was denied by the Bears' keeper, Jordyn Ebert.
The Bears continued to push for an opening goal after the halftime break. In the 45th minute Jasmine Spence fired one towards goal but the ball was just high of the target. Mercer would fire a flurry of eight shots in the first 15 minutes of the second stanza; unable to connect on them.
Mercer continued to control possession and fire at will, but the Bears couldn't finish in front of goal, entering overtime knotted at 0-0.
The Bears applied pressure in the first period of overtime, forcing the Mocs' keeper to come up with five saves. Neither team would find the back of the net as the match ended after another 10 minute overtime period in a 0-0 draw.
NOTABLES
• Goalkeeper Jordyn Ebert earned three saves on the afternoon and is now 7-6-1 while protecting the net. Ebert played all 110 minutes in the goal.
• In addition to Ebert, defenders Jorden Christensen and Megan Delmonico played the entire match.
• Senior forward Valeria Bermeo took four shots on the day for the Bears.
• Thirteen different players recorded a shot for Mercer.
• Mercer leads the Southern Conference in fouls, tallying nine throughout the match.
• The Bears had 10 corners on the day, while not conceding one to their opponent.
RECORDS UPDATE
• Mercer: 9-7-1 (3-3-1)
• Chattanooga: 4-8-4 (2-3-2)
QUOTABLES
"Overall, I was proud of our effort today. On Senior Day, I thought our girls came out and played really hard, especially the three seniors, Emma (Chandlee), Izzy (Rothschadl) and B (Valeria Bermeo). We had a good performance today; we took 29 shots; we just have to get better in front of the goal. Credit their goalkeeper and back line; they cleared several balls off the line and made some great saves. Overall, I'm pleased with our performance and the good thing is that we still control our own destiny. Now, we face a huge game on Friday at UNCG." --Head Coach Tony Economopoulos
NEXT MATCH
• The Bears will hit the road for their final weekend series of the regular season, facing UNCG in Greensboro, N.C., next Friday, Oct. 20, beginning at 7 p.m.
