8/31/2023 9:20:00 PM | Women's Soccer
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Indiana graduate forward Paige Webber scored the Hoosiers first goal in the 33rd minute before senior midfielder Sofia Black would double the score just 23 seconds later in a 2-2 draw against No. 25 Tennessee (3-1-2) at Regal Stadium on Thursday evening.
KEY MOMENTS
• Indiana (3-0-2) midfielder Hope Paredes came up with the steal at the center circle as she dribbled around some Tennessee defenders before connecting with Webber.
• Webber dribbled all the way down the stretch just inside the 18-yard box finding the perfect angle before striking with her left foot to send it to the right side of the net.
• The Hoosiers continued the attack as sophomore forward Marisa Grzesiak threaded a pass right through the Vols defenders to Black as she cut behind them making a quick strike at the net doubling the Indiana lead, 2-0. Both teams continued to battle it out in the remaining half.
• The squads picked up where they left off in the first half in a back-and-forth battle, but Tennessee would break through in the 53rd minute to cut the deficit, 2-1.
• The Lady Vols scored the equalizer in 79th minute from their leading goal scorer, Jaida Thomas.
