MONTEVALLO, Ala. - The University of West Georgia soccer team fought to a scoreless draw with the Montevallo Falcons to open up their Gulf South Conference slate.
The Wolves (0-1-3) played heavy defense to keep the Falcons from seeing the back of the net and finding crafty responses to shut down any offensive build-up.
With a career-high of 10 saves, senior goalkeeper Haley Brinkman completely dominated in her efforts to keep Montevallo at bay. Being faced with 23 shots, Brinkman remained cool under the pressure and gave a solid performance.
West Georgia was outshot 23-4, but the Wolves put all four shots on target and had chances to go ahead in the second half. In the 82nd minute, the Wolves earned a corner and had a real chance on Lauren O'Neill's service into the box, but a Montevaloo defender cleared the ball.
The draw earns the Wolves a crucial point to begin Gulf South Conference play.
The Wolves are back in action on Sunday at Auburn Mongomery. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. EST
