William Paterson played to a 1-1 double-overtime tie at Kean.
Box Score 

UNION, N.J. – The Cougars' Lara Kaminski scored early in the second half to tie the game as Kean (4-3-4, 2-1-2 NJAC) battled William Paterson (4-4-3, 2-1-2 NJAC) to a 1-1 double overtime tie in New Jersey Athletic Conference women's soccer action Oct. 3.

The Cougars held a slight 11-10 edge in shots, while the Pioneers had a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks. It was Kean's fifth double-overtime game of the season and second straight NJAC game that ended in a tie.

William Paterson took a 1-0 lead in the first half when sophomore forward Megan Droelle (Hampton, N.J./North Hunterdon) fired a shot from the right side of the box that got by a diving Leandra Russo and into the far side of the net. The goal, off an assist from senior midfielder Sam Giancola (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan), came in the 24th minute.

The score would remain 1-0 in favor of the Pioneers until early in the second half, when Kaminski recorded an unassisted goal just 5:48 into the period.

Russo stopped four shots for the Cougars, while Pioneer goalkeeper Meaghan Baker (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) made two saves.

William Paterson will play NYU Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 8:00 p.m. at Gaelic Park in the Bronx.
