DAYTON – The Wright State women's soccer team opened its 2026 campaign with a scoreless draw on the road at Southern Indiana on Thursday night.
Wright State (0-0-1) will return home to Alumni Field on Sunday, August 16, as the Butler Bulldogs come to town. Kickoff is slated for 5 pm.
Southern Indiana came out of the gates and applied pressure to the Raiders' defense, firing off nine shots at the Wright State goalkeeper, Leigha Lauer, who recorded all three of her saves in the first 45 minutes. The shutout is Lauer's second career solo shutout, with her other coming against Chicago State a season ago.
Wright State ramped up the pressure in the second half, firing 10 of their 15 shots and attempting 10 corner kicks, but were unable to find the winning goal. Taliah Pellizzari led the Raiders in shots with four, followed closely by Kaitlyn Eyink and Ayla Washburn with three apiece.
In the box score, Wright State led Southern Indiana in possession (62-38), total shots (15-14), shots on goal (5-3), and corner kick opportunities (11-5). Eyink and Lauer played all 90 minutes for the Raiders in the season opener. Ella Boettcher, Ryleigh Deards, Chloe Dunford, Shai-Lee Glaun, and Eva Snyder all made their collegiate debuts Thursday night.
