Cortland Plays to 1-1 Tie at RPI

TROY, N.Y. - The Cortland and RPI women's soccer teams played to a 1-1 double-overtime tie Sunday afternoon in non-conference action. The Red Dragons' record now sits at 1-2-1, and the Engineers are 1-1-2.

Sophomore Simone Neivel (Syracuse/C.W. Baker) scored her third goal of the season for Cortland. Sophomore Kayla Valerioti (Oakdale/Connetquot) registered an assist. Junior goalie Kiersten Becker (Guilderland) made five saves in 54:32 before giving way to junior Katrina Klammer (Mahopac), who stopped all three shots she faced in 55:28 in her first collegiate action in goal.

Whitney Wisnom scored RPI's goal. Goalie Sierra Skelding turned aside eight shots.

Neivel put Cortland on the scoreboard just one minute into the game, finishing off a pass from Valerioti. The lead held through the first half, but Wisnom tied the game with an unassisted effort 2:31 into the second half.

Each team generated several shots on goal throughout the remainder of regulation but neither could break the tie. In the first overtime, both teams were unable to put a shot on goal, but in the second 10-minute extra stanza, the Red Dragons outshot the Engineers, 4-0, forcing Skelding to make three saves to preserve the 1-1 tie.
