Head Coach Leigh Howard: "Today was a gritty game between two teams really trying to come away with a result.  I thought both sides had chances to put the game away and we really have to credit Cassie for stepping up in some big moments.  It's good to get any points out of an America East matchup and we need to now focus on a very good Hartford team come Thursday."
 
How it Happened

• New Hampshire drew two corner kicks in the first three minutes of the game but did not come away with any threatening chances.  The first shot of the game didn't come until the 11th minute when New Hampshire's Ella Dudley tested UAlbany goalkeeper Cassandra Coster, making her third-straight start.
• UAlbany's first shot came in the 24th minute, an attempt from Olivia Piraino that was blocked by a Wildcats defender.  Two minutes later, New Hampshire's best chance so far came when Francesca Picicci's shot sailed high over Coster and off the crossbar.
• Marisa Tava got in on the near-miss action, hitting the crossbar on a free kick in the 35th minute.  Tava's effort marked the last of the scoring opportunities for either team in the first half, and halftime arrived with the score locked at zero.
• Tava hit the crossbar again in the 58th minute, her second close scoring chance of the game.  The Great Danes finally scored in the 73rd minute when Jasmine Colbert broke through, unassisted, for her fifth goal of the season.
• New Hampshire drew a corner kick in the 82nd minute, leading to two shots in quick succession.  The first from Alivia Kelly was blocked by a UAlbany defender, but the rebound, collected and redirected by Keegan Mayer, found the back of the net to tie the game at one.
• A breakaway from Abbie Burgess in the 88th minute looked as though New Hampshire would put away a second goal.  Her first attempt missed just high off the top right corner.  She collected her own rebound and her second shot went into the arms of Coster to end the threat.  For the second-straight game, UAlbany would head into overtime.
• UAlbany's best scoring chance in extra time came in the 91st minute.  Piraino ripped a shot off the post, and 20 seconds later Tava fired another shot from deep towards the right side.  New Hampshire goalkeeper Cat Sheppard, closing to her left, deflected the shot just enough and out of bounds for a UAlbany corner kick.
• The game ended in a 1-1 tie, securing UAlbany's first scheduling point in conference play.  The Great Danes narrowly outshot the Wildcats 15-14 overall, but held a 6-3 shots advantage in overtime.
