ST MARY'S CITY, Md. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team concluded its weekend at the Seahawk Classic by drawing with Randolph-Macon, 2-2, on Saturday afternoon inside Jaime L. Roberts Stadium.
The Yellow Jackets (0-1-1) held a slight 3-2 shot advantage throughout the majority of the first half before the Sea Gulls (0-2-1) would break the ice in the 41st minute. SU rallied to a ball in the midfield and advanced to the far wing, where
Talyn Catena placed a cross onto the right foot of
Audrey Kregelka, who tapped in the feed.
Salisbury came out of the breather and capitalized after a pair of corner opportunities.
Lauren Chesney swept in a curling ball that glanced off
Lauren Tolbert's head, then off the crossbar into the goal to give the Maroon and Gold a two-goal nod.
Randolph-Macon scrapped back after conceding. The Yellow Jackets drilled the woodwork in the 55th minute, then cut the deficit to one courtesy of a marker from Emmerson Hill six minutes later.
SU keeper
Aley Martins stood tall while under siege, making three stops until the 86th minute, when Natalie Moxey of RMC equalized.
Jordan Edwards' try seconds later was stopped, then Martins made one final stop with 50 seconds remaining to cement the deadlock.
