EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer ended its three-game losing streak, but had to settle for a 0-0 tie versus Lewis University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles go to 2-3-2 overall and 0-3-1 GLVC, while the Flyer are 4-1-2, 2-1-2 GLVC, in 2021.
The Eagles were in control throughout the 110 minutes of action, but could not find the back to the Flyers goal. USI had a dominating 16-7 lead in shots, 6-4 on-goal, and advantage in corner kicks, 11-1.

Between the post for the Eagles, freshman goalkeeper Zoe Lintner (Wildwood, Missouri) posted a shutout in her collegiate debut with USI. Lintner faced seven total shots, making four saves to preserve the 0-0 tie for the Eagles.
