DePriest scores again before DeBien seals Blue Raider win
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Goals from freshman Peyton DePriest and redshirt freshman Sam DeBien sealed the first win of the season for Middle Tennessee as the Blue Raiders downed the UIC Flames 2-0 on Sunday.
After only five combined shots in the first half, only two of which were on goal, left the Raiders and Flames scoreless through 45 minutes, the contest opened up offensively following the break.
Middle Tennessee served up seven shots in the second half, three of which were on frame, to six shots and just one on goal for the Flames.
A 66th minute breakaway goal by DePriest provided the breakthrough for the Blue Raiders as she beat the UIC keeper in a one-on-one situation thanks to a terrific through ball by sophomore Amber Hoot. DeBien sealed the win in the 87th minute when sophomore Casey Riemer crossed into the box for the redshirt freshman.

"We've been close in most every game and I think today we just put together a lot of the things that we've been working on. It's great to get a shutout and to get a win with two goals." – Head Coach Aston Rhoden
"That was probably one of the most exciting moments I've had after being out almost all of last year redshirting because of my ACL injury. Just getting that cross from Casey, my teammates running after me and hearing my family was the best feeling. It was a great moment." – Forward Sam DeBien
WHAT'S NEXT
The Blue Raiders host Kennesaw State Friday, Sep. 15 in a 7 p.m. contest at Dean A. Hayes Stadium.
