KEENE, N.H. - Keene State College battled the University of Southern Maine to a 1-1 tie in a Little East Conference women's soccer game played before a homecoming crowd at Owl Athletic Complex on Saturday.

The Owls didn't waste any time getting on the board. Breanne Lucy (Keene, N.H.) gave KSC a 1-0 lead at the 6:05 mark when she raced down the right side and fired home her team-leading seventh goal of the season.

The Huskies got the equalizer at the 65:20 mark of the second half. Breaking away from the KSC defense, Liz Brunton (Birch Harbor, Me.) broke in alone and beat Owl goalie Michelle Mason (Fairport, N.Y.) for her fifth goal of the season.

Both teams had chances to go ahead in the second half. KSC's Katie Stevens (Londonderry, N.H.) shot hit off the cross bar and Mason made a sliding save on an attempt by Brunton.

Lucey had the best chance to score in the first overtime, but her shot was stopped on a diving save by Marcy Ansley (Hudson, Mass.). With 1:25 to go, Steven's header just sailed by the far post. Mason finished with eight saves while Ansley stopped four shots for USM (4-3-3, 1-1-1 LEC). KSC (5-3-1) had won the previous seven games between the two teams.

KSC hosts Worcester State on Wednesday night (7 p.m.).
