Tulsa, Oklahoma - Drury's Jen Simeck headed in the game-winning goal with just 34-seconds remaining in the game to lead the Panthers to a 2-1 victory over previously undefeated Tulsa today at Hutchens Field in Springfield, Mo.
The two teams played evenly throughout the match and it appeared that a winner would not be decided in the 90-minutes of regulation. However, in the final minute the Lady Panthers had several opportunities and finally, with 34 seconds left in the game, Lauren Rodriguez sent a long cross into the mouth of the goal and Simeck headed the ball over the outstretched arms of the Tulsa goalkeeper Kelly Wilson to give the Lady Panthers a 2-1 win. The win was the third in a row for Drury, which now stands at 3-1 on the year. The loss drops Tulsa to 3-1 overall.
The hotly-contested game was deadlocked at 0-0 at intermission. But Drury broke the deadlock on a goal by Jill Spence who nailed a 25-yard shot, again just eluding Wilson two minutes into the second half. But Tulsa senior Staci Morgan tied the contest with a similar shot, just over the Panthers' Brittany Kimbro at the 59:50 mark of the match. The Panthers did play with a man-advantage the final 20 minutes of the game as a red card was issued to TU's Katie Schlecht at the 61:30 mark. The field returned to even-strength with 14-seconds remaining when Drury's Jody Palazzolo picked up a red card.
