History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Golden Grizzlies played Rochester Christian to a 0-0 tie on Sunday. The Golden Grizzlies finished with 42 shots, 13 on goal, and held Rochester Christian to just two shots. The 13 shots on goal were a season-high for Oakland, and despite several strong chances in the second half particularly, they weren’t able to break the dam.<\/p>\n Oakland controlled the first half chances, piling up 17 shots and seven corner kicks while keeping RCU without a listed shot. The pressure started almost immediately with a corner in the first minute, followed by early attempts from Sophie Schultz<\/a>, Ella Shapiro<\/a>, Olivia Mehl<\/a> and Emma Smith<\/a>, with Sabrina Kiryakoza saving shots by Shapiro and Smith.\u00a0<\/p>\n Oakland continued to create looks through the middle of the half, including chances from Isabella Bierod<\/a>, Bailey Giddings<\/a>, Corinne Jenkins<\/a> and Adalyn Cameron<\/a>, but could not get one past Kiryakoza. The Golden Grizzlies closed the half with another set-piece push, earning corners at 41:13 and 41:59 and adding three shots in just over a minute, before the half ended scoreless.<\/p>\n Oakland generated repeated chances across the second half but could not break through, and the match finished 0-0. Oakland had seven shots in the first 15 minutes after halftime, with Brooklyn Perron saving attempts from Bella Haynes<\/a>, Olivia Norton<\/a> and Nicole Grimaldo<\/a>. Oakland continued to pile up looks from 61:05 to 70:04, adding eight shots and a corner as Perron stopped back-to-back attempts by Brae Cole<\/a> and Mehl.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Warriors briefly answered after a 76:54 corner, but Norah Schmidt<\/a> saved Laila Vanhoorelbeke’s shot at 77:47. Oakland closed with another push from 79:07 to 89:01, adding eight shots and four corners, including three corners in the final 2:14 before Cole’s late attempt.<\/p>\n Brae Cole<\/a> led Oakland with seven shots and put one on goal. Mehl added six shots, including a team-high three on frame. Schultz recorded five shots with one on goal. Norah Schmidt<\/a> played all 90 minutes in goal, made one save and finished with a shutout.<\/p>\n Up next, the Oakland Golden Grizzlies travel to Valparaiso, Indiana, to face Valparaiso University on Thursday, Sept. 10, at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
