UT MARTIN SOCCER SOARS TO 1-0 TRIUMPH OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS IN SEASON OPENER
3/2/2021 8:02:00 PM | Soccer
MARTIN, Tenn. – Emely van der Vliet found the back of the net in the 31st minute and the University of Tennessee at Martin's defense shut out the Eastern Illinois Panthers for a 1-0 victory to kickstart the 2020-21 campaign at Skyhawk Field.
A freshman out of Rosmalen, Netherlands, van der Vliet received a pass from Hendrikje Baurmann and scooted a shot from 15 yards out that was true. That provided UT Martin with a lead it would not concede the rest of the way as the stingy Skyhawk defense only allowed three five shots for the contest.
Erica Myers accounted for her 14th career shutout this evening, making three saves in goal. UT Martin's defensive quartet of Maria Castaldo, Jacalyn Schubring, Kamryn Chappell and Kiarnie Latham all played 90 minutes to extend the Panthers' scoreless streak to 373:49 in the all-time series against the two Ohio Valley Conference rivals.
The Skyhawks placed 11 of their 19 shot attempts on goal tonight, led by Lotte Koot and Jill Hildreth's three shots apiece. Alice Adams joined van der Vliet with a team-high two shots on goal.

Adams and Koot each peppered Eastern Illinois goalkeeper Daniela Bermeo with shots on goal in the first 3:23. Myers scooped up her first save of the evening in the 13th minute before Bella Roberts and van der Vliet came away with shots on goal in a seven-minute span.
The first goal of the 2020-21 campaign came via the right foot of van der Vliet, who found paydirt a little over 30 minutes into the contest. Hildreth (35th minute) and Castaldo (41st minute) also tacked on shots on goal before UT Martin took a 1-0 advantage into the intermission.
Myers collected back-to-back saves early in the second half, stopping Panther attempts in the 54th and 55th minutes.
Adams, Skylar Boes, Baurmann and Jaden Hildreth each did their part to add insurance goals for the Skyhawks with shots on goal but Bermeo made four saves to keep the score at 1-0.
Ultimately, the vaunted Skyhawk defense took care of business as Eastern Illinois could only manage one shot attempt over the final 32:50.
UT Martin goes on the road for its next outing, traveling to Music City for a Friday, March 5 matchup at Belmont. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
