PINEVILLE, N.C. – For the second time in as many matches the Salem soccer team earned a draw, this time with the match ending in a scoreless tie in the first-ever meeting with Johnson & Wales, when the two teams collided at the OrthoCarolina Sportsplex in Pineville, N.C., on Tuesday evening.

Salem was led in net by the goalkeeping tandem of Mireya Sanchez and Marissa Doutrich, who each tallied three saves in net. Sanchez capped off a solid first half of the match with three saves, after facing nine shots (three shots on goal), before giving way to Doutrich. The first-year netminder stepped in to close with three saves on 11 shots (three shots on goal) for the Spirits in the second half of play.

The Spirits, who were missing the services of Caitlin Clements and Nathaly Berrezueta, attempted five shots over the course of the contest. Four of those five attempts came off the foot of sophomore Darilyn Nieto, while Giselle Ramos added one shot attempt of her own. Nieto had two shots on goal for the Spirits, while Ramos closed with one.

The Wildcats, who also endured their second tie in as many games, finished the match with 20 shots (six shots on goal). Katie Douglas finished with a match-high six shots, while Emily Spies and Azalianna Absalom attempted three shots apiece.

Zoe Balmer made three saves between the pipes for the Wildcats on the evening.
