WSOC: DOLPHINS TIE AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL, 1-1, BEHIND GOAL FROM HARRISON

Syracuse, N.Y. - Senior forward Christina Harrison (Jamesville, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) scored just over four minutes into the contest to lead the Le Moyne College women's soccer team to a 1-1 tie with American International in Northeast-10 Conference action on Wednesday afternoon at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Center.

Harrison, who registered her third goal of the season, redirected a corner kick from the left side of the field by senior back Courtney Paddock (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) into the goal at the 3:04 mark of the match. Over the final 42 minutes of the half, the two teams battled back and forth, with neither being able to register a goal. The Yellow Jackets out-shot the Dolphins 10-6 in the opening period, while Le Moyne held a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks.

In the second half, the two squads traded possessions over the opening 35 minutes without being able to get on the scoreboard. Cassie Ashwell headed a shot at the Le Moyne goal with 8:18 remaining, but freshman midfielder Jennifer Fabian (Clay, N.Y./Baldwinsville) was able to head the ball away from the goal mouth. Just over 20 seconds later, Ashwell collected the ball in the middle of the field and scored off a bouncing shot from 25 yards out that eluded the grasp of Le Moyne goalkeeper Melissa Stevens (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee).

At the 2:28 mark of the first overtime period, freshman forward Christie Morano (Highland, N.Y./Highland) blasted a shot from 16 yards in front of the goal, but it hit off the crossbar. Senior Megan O'Shea (East Syracuse, N.Y./East Syracuse-Minoa) collected the carom, but her shot from 12 yards was turned away by AIC goalkeeper Kara Potts. Less than four minutes later, Morano had another shot get past Potts, but the ball hit off the goal post and into Potts' hands. Neither team was able to muster an offensive attack over the remaining 13 minutes of overtime, leading to the draw.

Stevens posted a career-high eight saves in the contest, while Potts recorded seven for the Yellow Jackets. AIC held a 32-20 advantage in shots, including a 22-14 edge after the halftime intermission.

Le Moyne (4-1-2, NE-10 1-1-2) travels to Manchester, N.H. on Saturday for a 12:00 p.m. kickoff against Saint Anselm.
