'Worcester, MA-  Keene State College and Worcester State College played to a  1-1double-overtime  draw in a rematch of the Owls' 1st round NCAA Tournament game last season on the turf of Coughlin Field on the campus of Worcester State College Wednesday afternoon.

The two teams battled to a scoreless tie through halftime with both teams carrying play for periods of time.

Worcester State got on the board first in the 51st minute when freshman Katelyn Bonetti (Plymouth, MA) knocked in her own rebound to give Worcester State the, 1-0 advantage.  Keene State answered back 10 minutes later when junior Katie Stevens (Londonderry, NH) took a pass from freshman Kathleen Keniston (Minneapolis, MN) to score the equalizer.  Keniston carried the ball down the win and fed Stevens with a cross for the tying goal.

Both teams engineered scoring opportunities through the rest of regulation and both overtimes but neither squad was able to convert the game-winner.

Worcester State goaltender Kim Massa (Westford, MA) made 5 saves in net for the Lancers while Keene State goaltender Sarah Campbell (Auburn, MA) made 7 saves for the Owls.

Worcester State will return to action on Saturday when they travel to Fitchburg State College.  Keene State will host Eastern Connecticut State University on Saturday.
