Riverdale, N.Y. ? Diana Barrera sparked the University at Albany women's soccer team with a late goal off the bench to tie Manhattan 1-1 in non-conference action on Wednesday afternoon at Gaelic Park. Sophomore goalkeeper Maria Liguori stopped a penalty shot in the second overtime for the Great Danes to preserve the tie.
Manhattan (0-2-1) got on the board with 14:07 remaining in the first half when Courtney McMahon one-timed a feed from Christine Reina to beat Liguori. Both teams would press offensively for the rest of the half, but the Jaspers would take the 1-0 edge to the break.
UAlbany (0-2-1) would earn the equalizer in the 72nd minute when Barrera tallied on a shot that deflected off of Manhattan's goalie, Alicia DeFino. Ashley Tirabassi notched her first assist of the season on the goal.
Liguori finished with eight saves for the Great Danes, including three in overtime, while DeFino made four stops in goal for the Jaspers.
Freshman forward Teresa Boring led UAlbany with four shots. McMahon took seven shots for Manhattan.
The Great Danes will play on Friday at New Jersey Institute of Technology at 7:00 p.m.
