The University of Scranton women's soccer team had a
handful of scoring chances on Saturday afternoon, but ultimately
settled for a 0-0 draw in double overtime against Drew University
in a Landmark Conference match at Fitzpatrick Field.
The tie moves Scranton to 5-6-3 overall and 2-0-1 in Landmark
Conference play, good for first place with three games remaining.
Drew is now 5-6-2 overall and 1-1-2 in the conference, putting the
Rangers in fourth place with two games left.
The Royals held a 23-15 advantage in shots, including 11-3 in
the overtime periods. But Drew made eight saves, including a pair
by junior defender Kiana Lundy (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain
Lakes), who knocked away two shots that were headed for the back of
the goal.
Junior forward Samantha Russo (Yorktown Heights,
N.Y./Yorktown) led Scranton with five shots, including
three on goal. Senior midfielder Sydney Parker (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) and

Catholic) had four shots each.
Junior goalie Kelsy McAnelly (West Chester, Pa./Villa Maria
Academy) made a season-high six saves for her seventh goal
of the season for Scranton.
