Marist, Fairfield Duel To Draw In MAAC Opener

Cergol Scores For Second Time In 1-1 Result

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York - The Marist women's soccer team started off conference play with a 1-1 draw against the Fairfield Stags after 110 minutes was not enough to separate the two teams.

The result moves the Red Foxes to 1-2-2 as the Stags remain unbeaten in their last six matches and move to 4-2-3.

Marist struck first in the contest with three minutes remaining in the first half, as junior forward Brooke Cergol was able to find the back of the net for her second goal of the season. However, in the 49th minute Fairfield's Stephanie Tsangaris was in the right place at the right time to put home the equalizer after a deflection by senior goalkeeper Natalie Kelchner.

Sophomore midfielder Amanda Caldarelli paced the Red Foxes with three shots, two of which were on goal. Natalie Kelchner recorded a season-high 11 saves.

Reagan Klarmann and Elle Scott each had four shots on goal for the Stags. Gena Pike recorded six saves.
