AMHERST, Mass. — The Akron women's soccer team notched a 1-1 draw with UMass on the road.

Playing a team who coming into the match was ranked second in the MAC and with an overall record of 9-1-2, Hattie Yugovich got the Zips on the board in the 37th minute on an assist from Allie McMillen to take the 1-0 lead.

UMass got theirs in the 63rd minute on an unassisted score. UMass outshot Akron, 27-9 — including 18-4 in the second half, and Sara Bower made 13 saves in net for the Zips. It is the second-most saves in a single game in program history since at least 2015 and only runner-up to Bower's 16 she had against Western Michigan in 2024.
