Women’s Soccer Draws Third Straight Match After Late Chestnut Hill Equalizer

PHILADELPHIA – Despite a late push that featured the match's final six shots over the last eight minutes, a Chestnut Hill equalizer with just over 10 minutes remaining meant the HFU women's soccer team was held to a third consecutive draw in action at Tiger Field on Wednesday evening. 
 
Gianna Monaco (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) tied for the team-lead with her third goal of the season in the 55th minute, blasting a shot into the top right corner after Allison Loper (Bensalem, Pa./Nazareth Academy (Georgian Court)) had an initial attempt cleared off the line. 
 
The Griffins were able to equalize when a through ball created a one-on-one situation with just over 10 and half minutes to go. 
 
CHC would see red just under five minutes later though, and the Tigers nearly made the Griffins pay with Maura Kilkenny (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Little Flower) hitting the crossbar before both Loper and Brynn Hess (Benton, Pa./Benton) were denied in the final 4:10.  
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Loper's assist was her second of the year, tied for the team-lead
  • Holy Family outshot Chestnut Hill 14-8 in the second half and 19-15 for the match
  • The Tigers had 10 corners while conceding none
  • Brianna Pudlo's (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Hubert) six saves were one shy of a season-high
  • Kilkenny led HFU with a career-best five hosts, with Monaco also tying a career-high with four
 
How it Happened 
First Half
  • Both teams registered three shots on net in the opening 45 minutes, with Pudlo making her first save 17 and a half minutes in before Carly Nothnagel (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) first tested CHC's keeper just under five minutes later
  • That was the first of three Tigers attempts on frame in seven minutes, the final two of which were by Kilkenny in the 27th and 30th 
  • Pudlo's other two first half stops came in the 37th and 42nd minutes
Second Half
  • Both teams had a shot on net in the opening 5:02, with Pudlo making another stop two minutes in before Monaco had back-to-back attempts, the second of which was saved
  • HFU's goal came following a corner, as Loper's shot coming from the top of the box was cleared from the right post into the path of Monaco inside the center of the 18
  • Pudlo's final two stops came just over five minutes apart in the 57th and 62nd minutes
  • Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) had two attempts in the final flurry, which also included another shot from Monaco
