FOND DU LAC, Wis. - After four periods and 110 minutes, the Ripon and Marian College still couldn't decide a winner Tuesday afternoon, as the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Each team scored one goal apiece in the first and second period, but it was all defense after that.

Marian (1-7-1) got on the board first, in the 13th minute, when Brittany Perez found the back of the net off a pass from Kristi Malizio. Ripon then tied it up 17 minutes later on a Davida Smith goal. Smith was assisted by Michelle Ebert on the play. Ripon (2-4-1) outshot Marian in the first period 9-5, but the score was still tied going into the half.

Marian regained the lead early in the second period, as Trista Michels scored on a pass from Perez, putting them up 2-1. Ripon fought back once again though. Freshman Audra Resop scored the first goal of her career on what was also the first shot of her career, tying the game at 2 in the 64th minute.

The two teams played even the resto of the way. One overtime period wasn't enough, and neither was two, meaning the game ended in Ripon's first tie of the season. Ripon goalie Abby Bartell recorded four saves, while Marians Sarah Schmehil had seven.

Ripon's next game will be Thursday, September 28, as they will travel to Maranatha Baptist. Gametime is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
