Calhoun). Neither team was able to get one past the other's keeper the rest of the way, resulting in the 1-1 tie.

Sophomore goalkeeper Krysten Kane (Macedon, N.Y./Wayne Central), the reigning State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, stopped eight shots to earn her second draw of the season. Meredith goalie Kelsey Hopper made six saves to keep the score knotted up at one.

The Avenging Angels fired off 22 shots in Saturday's matchup, while the Hawks took just 12. Meredith also held a 10-5 advantage in corner kicks.
