GREENVILLE, SC -- Furman goalkeeper Andie Hinshaw tallied a school record-tying 19 saves to lead the Lady Paladins to a 0-0 draw with 24th-ranked Clemson Tuesday night at Eugene Stone III Soccer Stadium in Greenville, S.C.
Clemson controlled play early in the match, outshooting Furman 9-0 in the first half. Despite being outshot 26-7 for the match, Furman put pressure on the Tigers in the second half. Danielle Petro had Furman's best scoring opportunity of the night in the 59th minute. The senior rocketed a shot from 25 yards out that curled just wide of the right post after beating Clemson keeper Lauren Whitt.
Clemson, 7-2-2, regained the advantage in possession during the overtime periods and registered 11 shots to Furman's one. The Tigers had two chances to grab the win in the first overtime period. In the 93rd minute, Clemson's Courtney Foster's shot from 19 yards out was deflected away as Hinshaw charged off of her line. Amanda Garcia had a chance to give Clemson a lead in the 97th minute, but Hinshaw was egual to the challenge once again.
"I'm content with the result tonight, but not satisfied," said Furman head coach Brian Lee. "We played Clemson as well as we ever have tonight, but we feel like we can win these types of games."
"To do this without Kate Johnson, Tara Marker and Alice Martin, is a wonderful statement to our depth. Clemson is an excellent soccer team and is very well coached" added Lee.
Hinshaw's 19 saves tied the school record set by Sarah Kesler against Appalachian State in 1994. The scoreless tie breaks Clemson's seven match win streak against the Lady Paladins.
Along with holding a 26-7 edge in shots, Clemson had eight corner kicks to Furman's five. Clemson tallied only one save, while Furman posted 20 stops.
Furman, 7-4-1 on the season, returns to action on Friday night when it travels to Charleston, S.C., for a key Southern Conference match with the College of Charleston at 7:00 p.m.
