After a weekend of Ohio Valley Conference play, the Panthers head back to Charleston without a win, as the 2012 regular season draws closer to a close.

The Eastern women’s soccer team played to a 1-1 draw with Morehead State, giving the team its first draw of the season.

The team ended the weekend with a 2-1 loss to Eastern Kentucky on the road.

The team now holds a record of 5-12-1 overall and 3-5-1 in the OVC.

With the Panthers fighting to be one of the top six teams in the OVC, this winless weekend puts the team at eighth overall in the standings.

Morehead State, which is now tenth overall in the standings, was scoreless with Eastern until senior Kristin Germann scored in the 61st minute, giving the Panthers a 1-0 lead.

The goal was Germann’s sixth of the season, which leads the team.

Then, with just five minutes to play, Morehead State’s Sam Toepfer scored the game-tying goal.

On Sunday, after a scoreless first half, Eastern Kentucky managed two second half goals to propel the Colonels to a 2-1 victory.

The Colonel’s first goal came in the 47th minute, but Eastern Kentucky followed again with a goal in the 58th minute.

The Panthers finally got on the board in the 74th minute when Eastern’s Brooke Sill knocked in her third goal of the season.

Eastern Kentucky is now the No. 3 overall team in the OVC.

The Colonels have won two straight.

The final game of the regular season for the Panthers will be at 3 p.m. Friday at Lakeside Field against the Belmont Bruins, who will be taking on Eastern for the first time as on OVC member.

Belmont is currently the No. 5 team in the conference.

This weekend marks the end of regular season play for all OVC teams, with the last games being played on Oct. 26 and 28.

Tennessee-Martin, the defending champion, remains the No. 1 OVC team, followed by Austin Peay and Eastern Kentucky.

The remaining three teams are against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Belmont and Southeast Missouri.
