HOOKSETT, N.H. – Despite an extra 20 minutes at Penmen Stadium, Southern New Hampshire University and Saint Anselm College could not find a game-winner, ending with a 1-1 draw.
Both teams scored late in the contest, with Saint Anselm junior Suzanne Cotter (Acton, Mass.) scoring the game’s first goal in the 84th minute. Cotter’s goal came shortly after a free kick that bounced off the frame of the goal, finding senior Kiley Larocque (Upton, Mass.), who then sent it over to a charging Cotter.
Freshman Jordan Butters (Beverly, Mass.) scored the equalizer with 52 seconds left in regulation, getting an assist from junior Allyson Patterson (Seekonk, Mass.). Patterson has now recorded either a goal or an assist in 13 of the Penmen’s 15 matches this season.
The 25th-ranked Penmen outshot Saint Anselm, 21-14.
With the tie, each teams earns one point in the Queen City Cup standings, with SNHU holding an 11-5 lead.
