MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders were able to overcome a halftime deficit against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Sunday evening at the Dean A. Hayes Track & Soccer Stadium. Both teams played aggressively late in Sunday evening's match, but the Conference USA rivals exited the match with a 1-1 draw.

A 12-minute stretch across the end of the first half and the start of the second saw both goals scored. The Hilltoppers struck first late in the opening 45 minutes, when Kayla Meyer found the back of the net on a deflection in the 36th minute. But the Blue Raiders equalized promptly after halftime, with forward Emma Petterson scoring in the 47th.
