Kilkenny’s Early Goal Spoiled by Late Equalizer in Women’s Soccer’s Draw at Queens; Tigers' Unbeaten Streak at Seven

FLUSHING, N.Y. – Maura Kilkenny (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Little Flower) opened the scoring for a second straight match, this time just 3:21 in, but Queens equalized in the 75th minute as HFU women's soccer played to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday evening. 

The result extends the Tigers' unbeaten streak to seven, tied for their longest since 2010

It was Allison Loper (Bensalem, Pa./Nazareth Academy (Georgian Court)) who set up the goal via a corner, rolling the ball just inside the top right of the 18 to an unmarked Kilkenny, who curled her long-range effort into the left-side netting. 
 
Both teams had opportunities following the Knights' equalizer, with Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) denied in the 77th minute before Emily Vickalitis (Warminster, Pa./William Tennent) was forced into a save just 21 seconds before the final whistle to preserve the draw. 
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Kilkenny's two goals this year match her career-high set last season
  • Loper is now atop the team with four assists
  • Vickalitis notably made her first career start in net, finishing with five saves
  • Despite Queens outshooting the Tigers 15-7, the Knights held just a 6-5 edge in attempts on goal

  • Megan Kennedy (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) forced Queens' keeper into a save 2:36 in
