PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Sophomore
Victoria Kealy (Nutley, NJ/Nutley)'s early goal gave the Pace University women's soccer team the lead for over 60 minutes on Saturday, but a late equalizer by Bentley University forced overtime and eventually led to the Setters' second-straight draw at Pace Stadium, this time by a score of 1-1 in Northeast-10 Conference play.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Kealy fired off a beautiful shot from the top-right edge of the box, sending the ball into the top-right corner of the net to give Pace the lead in the 28th minute.
- With just 1:42 left in regulation, Bentley's Brandi McDonald tried one from nearly the same spot as Kealy's score, but sent it to the far-left end of the net and in to eventually force overtime.
- The Setters managed four shots in the first extra period, but were unable to get it past the keeper.
