Eagles Play to 1-1 Tie with New York University
The Emory University women's soccer team came from behind late
in regulation to force a 1-1 tie with New York University on Friday
night at the Woodruff Physical Education Center.
Emory fell behind in the 13th minute of the contest, as
New York University's Emily Jenkinson scored off an assist from
Erica Jones.
Both teams would battle back-and-forth for the remainder of the
half, and the first 32 minutes of the second half, before the
Eagles would strike back.
Junior Melanie Levy would tie the match for the
Eagles in the 77th minute of the contest, scoring off a
spectacular diving header following a free kick from Talia
Dweck. The goal was the second of the season for
Levy, and the seventh assist of the season for Dweck.
Emory would take control of the game, registering 13 shots in the
second half, and seven during the two overtime periods, compared to
just eight shots during that same stretch for NYU. The Eagles
would also take five corner kicks during the match, compared to
three for the Violets.
Emory's record improved to 4-2-5 on the season, including a 0-1-2
mark in University Athletic Association (UAA) matches. The
tie puts Emory one shy of the school's single-season record.
The Violets' went to 8-4-1 on the campaign, and 0-2-1 in conference
play.
Emory will return to action on Sunday, facing Brandeis University
at 1:30 PM at the Woodruff Physical Education Center.
