NORFOLK, Va. – The Old Dominion women's soccer team closes out non-conference action on Sunday afternoon when they host the High Point Panthers at 4 p.m. on Monarch Sisters Day.
Old Dominion (4-0-2) got the equalizer from Anna Tørsløv in the 64th minute last Sunday in a 1-1 draw against William & Mary. The Tribe got on the board in the 58th minute of action marking the first goal allowed this season by the Monarchs in 508:49. That is the second longest scoreless run, time wise, in program history only trailing a 528:41 span in the 2018 season.
High Point (2-2-3) defeated UMBC 1-0 on Thursday night behind a Fain Buete penalty kick goal at 59:06. The Panthers dropped a 3-1 decision to East Carolina on Sunday as Lilly Neubauer scored in the 58th minute off a feed from Bri Davis.
