The Piedmont women’s soccer team battled a tough Roanoke squad to a scoreless draw on Sunday morning at the Walker Athletic Complex.
On a beautiful morning for soccer, the Lions and Maroons each played outstanding defense and Piedmont goalkeeper Maggie Leger delivered a shutout, stopping numerous chances in both halves to keep the game scoreless.
Overall, Leger tallied 11 saves, one short of her season high, which came at No. 14 Emory.
The Lions were able to create a few good chances in the first half, but Roanoke had multiple scoring chances in the second half, putting pressure on the Piedmont back line.
However, Leger answered the call each time.
Piedmont Head Coach Timmy McCormack went deep into his bench, as 27 players appeared in the contest for the Lions.
As a team, the Lions totaled six shot attempts, with four coming in the first half.
Despite 18 shots in the second half, Roanoke was unable to find the back of the net.
Up next, Piedmont will have a short road trip to take on Toccoa Falls this coming Tuesday, September 12 at 7 p.m.
