BIG RAPIDS, MI - The UIndy women's soccer team battled their way to a 0-0 draw on Sunday afternoon against Ferris State, after a strong performance in goal from senior Kendall Ellis who recorded four saves on 16 shots.

Today's 0-0 draw is the first non-conference game that ended goalless in head coach Kelli Beheler's three-year tenure with the Greyhounds.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Momentum was hard to come by for these two teams in the first half, with not many chances being created from either team. The Hounds lone chance came on a shot from Karoline Bachelder in the 13th minute, but ended up wide of the frame.

Ellis kept the game square with two big saves to end the half, and send the teams to the locker room tied 0-0.

Ferris State began the second half on the front foot with three shots in a two minute span, one of which forced Ellis to make her third save of the match in the 52nd minute.

The Bulldogs created a total of 10 chances in the second half before the Hounds produced their only two shots of the second half. Kendal Waugerman and Zy'Aire Parker both had off target shots in the final three minutes, which were only the Hounds' second and third shots of the entire game.

Even with the late push of chances from both sides this one ended up a 0-0 draw, which marks the first scoreless draw in the last five meetings between these sides.
