WATERLOO, Iowa -- Extra time could not get the UNI women's soccer team a win in its first match of the season. The Panthers tied South Dakota at the end of double overtime, 0-0.

Defensively, senior goalkeeper, Jami Reichenberger, faced 13 shots from South Dakota, with seven shots on goal.

"I think we got the nerves out," said Reichenberger. "Our backline, other than Morgan and me, is completely new."

"I think our biggest thing right now is pumping up our freshmen," Morgan Teel said. "We wanted to play on Thursday but this was an opportunity for our team to get better."

Teel challenged the Coyotes with her speed, moving the ball up the pitch to teammates Kelsey Yarrow, Olivia Stearns, Hannah McDevitt, and Jordyn Rolli, who combined for a total of 11 shots against South Dakota.
