- Aron made a pair of saves 74 seconds apart in the 77th and 78th minutes to keep the game tied. The Warriors had a shot attempt go wide with 48 seconds left and, with time winding down, freshman Meghan Barilone (Bennington, Vt.) broke up a pass with a tackle in the box as the contest ended in a tie.
