Duffy, Sooners Shut Out Lady Vols in 0-0 Tie

NORMAN — Oklahoma Soccer (9-3-3, 2-3-2) came away with league points after earning a 0-0 draw against No. 4 Tennessee (11-1-2, 5-1-1), giving the Sooners just their second draw against a top-five team in program history. 

The Sooners snapped the Lady Vols' five-game winning streak in conference play, bringing the Sooners to eight points in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) ledger. 

OU 0, Tennessee 0
The Sooners had the first shot and shot on goal of the night, with Hadley Murrell putting one on frame before it was saved by Tennessee goalkeeper Cayden Norris. The Lady Vols paced the shot total in the first half, with Caroline Duffy making one save and Riley Brown making a crucial sliding block of a shot from the top of the box. The match was tied up 0-0 at the break for the third time in league play this season for the Sooners.

OU put up six shots and three corner kicks in the second half, creating good opportunities, but both keepers and backlines stood tall to keep the match tied. Naomi Clark did nearly give the Sooners the win after heading a shot off the post 68th minute. 

Brown, Cassie Clifton, Duffy, Lexi Dendis and Ally Laccinole played all 90 minutes, the largest group to log each minute in a game this season for OU.
