Farrell's First Collegiate Goal Not Enough In Draw

Box Score (PDF)

New Rochelle, NY - Junior Caleigh Farrell (Freehold, NJ / UNH) scored her first career goal but it wasn't enough as Manhattan played Iona to a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Mazzella Field.

The Jaspers move to 3-7-3 and 2-4-2 in the MAAC while the Gaels are 3-11-2 and 1-5-2 in the league.

Farrell opened the scoring in the 47th minute, cleaning up sophomore Maddie Barrow's (Ramsey, NJ / Ramsey) header attempt that was originally deflected by Iona goalie Emma Havrilla. Unfortunately, the Gaels would net the equalizer in the 67th minute on Amber Crispin's blast from 20 yards out.
 
It appeared that Farrell reclaimed the lead for the visitors in the 86th minute, only to be denied when Manhattan was whistled for being offside.

Senior Kelly DiGregorio (Centereach, NY / St. Anthony's) made five saves between the pipes for the Jaspers while Havrilla turned away 10.
