Women’s Soccer's Rallies Late to Draw at Canisius

Two goals in the final 15 minutes regulation help Peacocks salvage a road draw

BUFFALO, NY  - Down by two goals with less than 15 minutes to play, sophomore forward Julianna Murrill and freshman midfielder Madison Greenberg both found the back of the net to help the Saint Peter's University women's soccer team fight back for a key point in the league leaderboard, as the Peacocks played host Canisius to a 2-2 draw in Buffalo on Saturday. .

Game Notes
  • Canisius opened the scoring with a goal in the 22nd minute after Shauna Lee found the twine on an unassisted strike.
  • Alicia Larsson Vahlberg added to the host Golden Griffins' lead after netting Canisius' second of the afternoon in the 61st minute.
  • With her team down but not out, Murrill brought the Peacocks back to life after finding the back of the net unassisted in the 78th minute.
  • Less than 10 minutes later, Greenberg put in the equalizer on a feed from sophomore defender Brooke Boutchie level the contest at 2-2 with less than four minutes remaining.
  • The two sides would do battle for an additional 20 minutes in overtime until the final whistle blew, as Saint Peter's would pick up a key point in the league standings thanks to the draw.
Inside the Numbers

What They Said - Head Coach Melissa Sherwood
