ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Jackie Lowdermilk (Wadsworth/Wadsworth) converted Mount Union's lone goal on Tuesday, pulling the Purple Raider women's soccer team into a 1-1 tie with Hiram at Mount Union Stadium.

Kylee Kolesar (Mentor/Mentor) tried to score with a header, but her attempt clanged off the Terriers' crossbar. Lowdermilk jumped on the rebound and pounded the ball past Hiram goalkeeper Emily Bristol.

The Raider tally happened during the 18th minute -- just three minutes and thirty-nine seconds after Hiram took the lead on a goal by Claire Conner.

Conner, the recipient of Alaina Giesen's through ball, had a clean breakaway on net in the 15th minute.

Each team used two goalies. Aubree Lieberman (Cleveland Heights/Cleveland Heights) started and made one save in 17:53 for Mount Union before Taryn Vespoint (Ravenna/Ravenna) stopped four shots in 92:07 of shutout soccer.

Bristol and Kate Valaitis had five and two saves, respectively, for the Terriers (4-5-2, 0-0-0 NCAC).

The Purple Raiders (2-6-3, 0-1-0 OAC) will return to action this weekend. They will visit Ohio Northern for an Ohio Athletic Conference match on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
