PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – In the first of two pivotal matchups affecting the CACC playoff race, the University of Bridgeport women's soccer team battled to a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Chestnut Hill College on Saturday. The Purple Knights move their record to 3-5-2 in the conference this season.
Bridgeport scored its lone goal right before halftime (44th minute) to take a 1-0 lead into the locker room.
It was a Chestnut Hill own goal that was created by Lily Rodriguez and Rebecca Morris.
Rodriguez launched a free kick into the box that was headed past the goalkeeper along the goal line by Rebecca Morris before being hit into the back of the net by a Griffins' defender attempting to clear.
Chestnut Hill ultimately notched the game-tying tally in the 61st minute.
Statistically, it was an extremely even affair with a 7-to-7 shots-on-goal total and a 1-1 finish in corners.
In net, UB's junior goalkeeper Marit Blom made six saves in her fourth start of the season.
