STILLWATER, Okla. — A stout defense and a timely goal powered Sam Houston to a 1-1 draw against Oklahoma State in the season opener Wednesday night at Neal Patterson Stadium.
Â
The Bearkats picked up where they left off defensively last season, making big plays to hold a relentless Cowgirl attack to one early goal in the 12th minute. Goalkeeper Hannah Stipp turned in a solid performance in her Bearkat debut, making seven saves while playing all 90 minutes to earn the draw.
Â
Sam Houston was limited in its scoring opportunities Wednesday but took full advantage of a foul by its Big 12 opponent late in the opening half.
Â
Ellie Morgan was pushed from behind while trying to receive a pass at the top of the box, setting up a free kick for the Bearkats. Gabrielle Gipson lined the shot perfectly over the defensive wall and into the lower-right corner of the net to knot the match at 1-1 in the 39th minute.
Â
Sam Houston will hit the road again Sunday for a 7 p.m. match against Lamar in Beaumont.
