The Murray State Racers remain perfect in the Ohio Valley Conference after a 1-1 double overtime draw with Eastern Kentucky at the EKU Soccer Field in Richmond, Ky.

The Racers move to 9-1-2 overall and 4-0-2 in the OVC. EKU moves to 7-3-4 overall and 4-0-3 in the OVC.

With the tie, Murray State keeps their conference unbeaten streak intact, moving to 27 consecutive OVC games without a loss.

"It was a good game, both teams had chances to win. Going up a goal, I was a little disappointed not to go on and win. We are still a point behind EKU with a game in hand," said head coach Jeremy Groves.

Miyah Watford provided the only goal for the Racers at the 51^st minute. Getting a bouncing ball that deflected off the gloves of the EKU keeper, Watford secured her third goal of the season.

Alex Steigerwald, making four saves, is now 9-1-2 overall on the year.
