Box Score SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Playing their second double overtime contest in as many days, the Northern State Wolves battled Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference newcomer Sioux Falls to a 1-1 draw Sunday afternoon to close out the weekend of NSIC play.

NSU senior Rachel Goslinga scored NSU's lone tally, her second of the weekend and ninth of the season.  The unassisted equalizer came 57 minutes into the contest and tied things up at one goal apiece.

USF had taken the lead with about a minute and a half left in the first half on an unassisted Brooke Jurgens goal.  NSU tied it up 12 minutes into the second half.  Both teams had a couple of cracks at the lead in regulation, but could not convert on either one.  NSU also created a pair of shot-on-goal opportunities in the first overtime.

The tie puts NSU at 3-9-2 overall and 2-7-2 in NSIC play.  USF moves to 0-13-1 on the season and 0-11-1 in the loop.

The Wolves return home next weekend and will play three of their final four games of the season at home.  Minnesota-Duluth and St. Cloud State will pay their visits to Jerde Field on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.  Saturday's contest is set for an 11 a.m. kick, while Sunday's affair will begin at 1 p.m.
