How It Happened
Colorado School of Mines put together its chances, but was held to a scoreless draw Sunday at MSU Denver.
The Orediggers (5-2-1, 3-0-1 RMAC) stay atop the RMAC standings with 10 points, while the Roadrunners (4-2-2, 1-1-2 RMAC) picked up a crucial point as they sit mid-table.
Mines had plenty of offensive output, leading 21-8 on shots, but couldn't solve Breanna Flores and her eight saves.
The best chance for a goal came early in the first overtime when Laya Rybicki strung together a pair of saved chances, first on a header and seconds later with a go from 25 yards. Holly Weyand made a superb run from the back in the second extra frame but couldn't cash in.
