CLAREMORE, Okla. - Calais Butts had an impressive performance with 16 saves, as Rogers State Women's Soccer (0-1-1) earned its first point of the season with a 1-1 tie against an offense-heavy UT Dallas (1-0-1) team on Thursday night.
 
Butts' save total ties her with Jordan Harris for the second-most saves in program history, originally set in 2013.
 
The Hillcats faced a tough defensive challenge, as the Comets unleashed an astounding 39 shots, with 17 on target. RSU managed 10 shots, seven of which were on goal, led by Emily Hartshorn, who contributed two shots on target.
 
In the first half, after being largely confined to their own zone, E. Hartshorn broke free to earn a corner kick in the 40th minute. A well-placed corner from Wyoming transfer Rylee Shroder enabled Delana King to score her second career goal, giving RSU an early lead that they maintained until halftime.
 
The Comets, who controlled 59 percent of possession, equalized with a free kick from Chelsea Vilca in the 55th minute. Neither team scored for the remainder of the match, resulting in the first tie of the season for both teams.
 
RSU will travel for the first time this season on Thursday, September 11, to face Ouachita Baptist, with kickoff scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at Wesley and Debbie Kluck Field. p.m.
