ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Grace's women's soccer team had a wealth of chances on Friday to beat Missouri Baptist.

But the Lady Lancers (2-2-2) and their 21 shots went for naught in a 0-0 tie through two overtimes.

Both teams appeared in the "receiving votes" section of the NAIA poll on Monday, but neither side was able to produce a breakthrough win to potentially catapult themselves into a top-25 ranking.

The first 10 minutes were fast-paced. Both teams were aggressive from the onset, and Grace was awarded with four corner kicks in the early stages of the contest.

Liz Van Wormer had one of the first clean shots of the match 18 minutes into the match, but her low hard drive was saved.

As the half progressed, Grace's possession grew stronger.

A perfect leading pass from Sacia Hanson gave Grace another golden chance to score in the 31st minute, but a potential goal-scoring opportunity was called offside.

With five minutes to play, Grace had another close-range chance, but Clair Snodgrass's header was saved.

The teams went into halftime scoreless. The Lady Lancers had four shots on goal and four corner kicks in the opening 45 minutes.

Grace ramped up its attack after halftime, forcing the Spartans (2-2-1) to defend for the majority of the second half. 

The Lady Lancers had seven shots in the first 17 minutes of the half. Hannah Tkacz tried a 28-yarder that whizzed just above the crossbar. Minutes later, Van Wormer nearly connected on a flicked shot after a free kick.

The Spartans occasionally generated offense from counterattacks, but Grace kept MBU from attacking in dangerous positions.

Midway into the half, Grace tried a low blast on a free kick that produced another save.

On a corner kick, Kristen Bellinger nearly scored with a shot to the far post, but her attempt went wide.

Regulation ended without either team scoring. Grace racked up 13 second-half shots while holding MBU to zero shots on goal.

In the first overtime, Allison Vroon led a direct attack and made a leading pass to Snodgrass. Snodgrass's shot from the right side was saved, however.

With just over two minutes to play in the second overtime, Tkacz nearly won the game. Her deep shot from well outside the penalty box forced a jumping save at the crossbar by MBU's goalkeeper, and the ensuing loose ball was picked up just before Grace could pounce on the rebound.

For the game Grace owned a 21-18 shot advantage, while MBU had a slight 6-5 edge in corner kicks.

Sabina Meyers finished with five shots, and Bellinger and Van Wormer each tallied three.

Abby Schue picked up the 110-minute shutout while making five saves. She was protected by the stout defensive line of Carlie Salinas, Meyers, Aubrey Feipel and Vroon.

Grace will end its St. Louis trip with a match on Saturday at 1 p.m. against Lindenwood-Belleville.
