TEANECK, N.J. - After playing 110 minutes, the Bryant University
women's soccer team tied Northeast Conference opponent Fairleigh
Dickinson 1-1 on Sunday afternoon in a rainy Teaneck, New Jersey.
The Bulldogs (3-9-1, 1-4-1) scored early in the second half but could not hold off the Knights (2-11-1, 0-5-1) for the full 90 minutes as they netted a late goal in the second half. Bryant sophomore Kaitlyn Hinck (Bow, N.H.) scored the only goal of the game for the Bulldogs in the 48th minute when Hinck and teammate Jennifer Harding (Lancaster, Mass.) connected on a give and go. After sending a pass to Harding, Hinck got the ball back and was able to shoot the ball into the upper left corner of the net from inside the 6-yard box.
Bryant held off the Knights until the 82nd minute when FDU's Jennifer Arceneaux was able to score the equalizer. Arceneaux took a shot from approximately 30 yards out from the left side and was able to kick the ball into the upper left part of the goal over the outstretched hands of senior keeper Katie Mitchell (Deer Park, N.Y.) Mitchell recorded four saves on the day.
Despite eight total shots between the two overtime periods, neither team was able to net the game-winner. The Bulldogs outshot the Knights 20-10.
The squad returns to action on Wednesday, Oct. 21 when it travels to Boston, Mass. to take the Boston University Terriers at 4 p.m. The Terriers participated in last season's NCAA tournament.
