Sophomore Tyesha Kizer scored her first goal of the season and senior goalkeeper posted 10 saves as the Youngstown State women's soccer team came back to tie Purdue, 1-1, Sunday, at Farmers National Bank Field.
The Penguins move to 3-2-1 overall while the Boilermakers are now 4-1-1.
With the Penguins trailing 1-0 at the half, Kizer grabbed a loose ball in front of the Purdue penalty box and lifted a shot from 20 yards out over the outstretched arms Purdue's Erika Yohn. The goal knotted the game at 1-1 with 42:58 left in the match.
Podolsky, who faced 31 total shots, staved off a fierce assault by the Boilermakers in the second half.

The Penguins made a run with less than 10 minutes left when Kizer Rachel Hutton and Kathy Baquero each had shots on goal.
Purdue grabbed a 1-0 lead 19 minutes into the match when Maddy Williams beat Podolsky with a shot to the lower left corner of the goal.
Andrea Petrina slipped a pass through the Penguins defense and perfectly led Williams for the shot attempt.
About 10 minutes later, the Penguins took a flurry of three shots in a 53 second span, but two by Sydney Riddle and Chelsey Haney were block and the third from Courtney Lavin was saved by Purdue's Erika Yohn.
As the first half closed, Haney had another shot block and Abby Kenski's shot with 23 seconds left sailed wide.
