Seton Hall 1, Fordham 1 (2OT)
Seton Hall got on the board in the sixth minute with a strike from senior Lauren Hall, but ultimately fought to a 1-1 draw in non-conference action at Fordham Thursday night. Hall broke loose thanks to precise ball from sophomore Marissa Aniolowski, then ripped a shot past the Fordham keeper from 18 yards out. Seton Hall carried a 1-0 lead at the half and had some momentum heading into the final 45 minutes. However, Fordham's Amanda Miller broke loose down the right side, pulled it back to her left foot, and fired an unstoppable shot into the upper left side of the goal just 1:38 into the second half.
Following the equalizer, the match was a virtual stalemate. For the ensuing 30 minutes neither team attempted a shot, and they combined for seven more shots over the final 64 minutes.
