St. Joesph’s (6-8) took a 1-0 lead at 19:44 when freshman midfielder Meghan Brady (Rocky Point, NY) scored unassisted. After a collision with freshman goalkeeper Sarah Boccard (Washingtonville, NY) the ball trickled off Brady’s foot and crossed the goal line to give the Golden Eagles the edge going into halftime.

SUNY New Paltz (8-5-1) tied the game on McBain’s first tally, 20 minutes into the second half. Freshman forward Kate Addiss (Amherst, NY) and Kelty combined to set-up McBain for the game-tying goal.
