The 11th-ranked Brandeis University women's soccer team controlled play today, but the visiting Lesley University Lynx made the most of their best chance as the Judges and Lynx battled to a 1-1 draw in on-and-off rain on Gordon Field.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 6-0-2, ranked #11 in Division III by United Soccer Coaches
  • Lesley, 2-1-4.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Though the Judges dominated possession in this one, outshooting Lesley, 35-6, the Lynx were able to take advantage of their best opportunity. Elsie Koehler ripped a pass from Bethany Slipkin from outside the box into the upper left netting in the 28th minute to break the ice. It was Lesley's first shot on goal of the game.
  • Just over four minutes later in the 32nd minute, the Judges equalized when senior Caroline Alcock (Southborough, Mass./Algonquin Regional) headed home her third goal of the season, on an assist by first-year Moira Koleno (Chicago, Ill./Whitney M. Young Magnet).
  • The Judges dominated play from there, including outshooting Lesley, 20-3, in the second half.
  • The Lynx got an excellent performance from goalkeeper Madison Reed, who made 11 stops in the effort, while the defense cleared two balls off the line.
  • Brandeis had its opportunities to take the lead, but Reed denied Brandeis sophomore Peterly Leroy (Malden, Mass./Prospect Hill Academy Charter School), on a breakaway in the 86th minute to preserve the tie score.
  • Brandeis senior goalkeeper Amaya Logan (Jacksonville, Fla./Creekside) finished with one save and one goal allowed.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • The Judges had a 14-0 advantage in corner kicks.
  • This was the first non-blemish for Brandeis against Lesley since 2018, as their record moves to 12-1-2 all-time against the Lynx.
