MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Iowa soccer team tied Minnesota 2-2 at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Hawkeyes held a 2-1 lead with ten minutes to play, but a late goal by the Gophers sent the game into overtime.

Minnesota opened up the scoring in the 17th minute of the contest when Haley Lentsch assisted Rebecca Dellaria for the goal. Dellaria shot from the left side of the box and the ball deflected off of Iowa goalkeeper Britta Vogele for the score.

In the second half, Iowa evened up the score at the 48:58 mark. Sophomore Katelyn Quinn scored her team-leading seventh goal of the season on a free kick from ten yards out to put the Hawkeyes on the board. Freshman Danielle Oswald was credited with the assist.

The Hawkeyes held the lead for the next twenty minutes before the Gophers knotted the game up in the 81st minute. Laura Hoppe scored an unassisted goal on a shot from 15 yards out on the right side of the box.
