Fort Wayne 1, Northern Illinois 1

Fort Wayne's Sam Pavlika

The IPFW women's soccer team kicked off the 2014 campaign on an unusually chilly and windy late-summer night as they hosted Northern Illinois for an exhibition match at Hefner Field on Tuesday.

A slow start plagued the Mastodons and the Huskies took advantage early, scoring three minutes into the game on a long goal by Northern Illinois' Sara Spaulding that sailed just over the head of IPFW goalkeeper, junior Sam Pavlika, into the back corner of the net.

The home team recovered quickly, however, as they intensified the attack in the midfield and won a majority of the possession battles for the remainder of the first half. IPFW's best chance of the opening period came with 14 minutes left as junior forward Rachel Good skimmed a shot just over the top crossbar from outside the left corner of the 18-yard box.
