Goalkeeper Maddy Henry set a career saves mark in a scoreless draw against Illinois State.

After 93 minutes of scoreless soccer, forward Jamie Kutey had a beautiful cross to teammate Kylie Sprecher, who was positioned about 10 yards out from the goal. The freshman from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, booted it with her right foot towards the goal.

At first glance, it looked as though it hit the inside of the crossbar to break a scoreless tie. It was a few inches too high.

“I made solid contact on it,” Sprecher said.
