Women’s Soccer Draws With St. Lawrence, 1-1

ROCHESTER, NY - Despite an early goal for the Golden Flyers, St. Lawrence was able to find the equalizer late in the first half to force a draw on Saturday afternoon at Golden Flyer Stadium. With the tie, Nazareth now sits at 1-0-1, while the Saints get to 0-1-1 on the season.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Similar to Tuesday's match, Nazareth got on the board very quickly, scoring just 4:20 into the contest. Savanna Biehler started the play, generating back to back shots off a fastbreak that were both saved. The ball was then played out to Giuliana Rodriguez who fed Lillian Fejko and she placed a beautiful shot top shelf to beat the goalkeeper from outside the 18. 
  • The Golden Flyers kept momentum going after the goal, generating a total of four shots on goal through the first eight minutes of the match.
  • St. Lawrence was eventually able to weather the early Nazareth storm. Paige Barlow then almost made it 2-0 Nazareth as she fired a shot from the top‑right side of the box, forcing the Saints goalkeeper to make a fantastic stop just below the crossbar.   
  • In the 44th minute, St. Lawrence broke quickly on a counterattack and leveled the match at 1-1 just before halftime.
  • The second half began as a defensive battle through the first 15 minutes. The Saints were able to possess the ball more than the Golden Flyers, but weren't able to create many opportunities.
  • With about 20 minutes left in the second half, Nazareth went on the attack, generating a couple of strong chances, including a clean look from Kiyomi Mastro off a free kick. 
  • Both teams were unable to get on the board for a second time, resulting in a 1-1 tie. The Golden Flyers outshot the Saints 15-9.
GAME NOTES:
  • Lillian Fejko recorded her first collegiate goal
  • Giuliana Rodriguez picked up her first point of the season with an assist on Fejko's goal
  • Katriana Walls stopped 4/5 St. Lawrence shots
  • Nazareth moves to 15-6-8 all-time against St. Lawrence with the tie
UP NEXT:
The Golden Flyers will look to get back in the win column Saturday, September 12th as they host Ithaca at 12 p.m. at Golden Flyer Stadium.
