PULLMAN, Wash. (8/19/21) – Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Megan McClure stymied nine shots by Washington State, but the Cougars managed to score a penalty kick in a season-opening 1-1 draw for the Arkansas State Women's Soccer team Thursday night.
Washington State (0-0-1), a NCAA College Cup squad in 2019, peppered 39 shots, but the Arkansas State (0-0-1) defense blocked 13 attempts and allowed only nine to reach McClure. The Cougars registered 20 corner kicks to two for the Red Wolves. A-State managed nine shots, with three on goal.
A well-timed run by Elyse Bennett in the 15th minute forced McClure off her line, but the fifth-year senior rose to the task and staved off the strike for the save.
