College Soccer: No. 11 AASU 1, UNC Pembroke 1

PEMBROKE, N.C. (September 19) – Freshman Alyssa Anderson drove home a corner kick from Kristin Burton in the 76th minute to give the No. 11-ranked Armstrong Atlantic women's soccer squad a hard-fought 1-1 tie at UNC Pembroke on Wednesday evening in Pembroke, N.C.

The Pirates (4-1-1, 1-0-1 PBC) fell behind the Braves (5-1-1, 0-1-1 PBC) in the 69th minute when Lefke Boysen delivered her fifth goal of the season off of a free kick from Jamie Clarke. Less than seven minutes later, the Pirates got the equalizer from Anderson, her first goal of the season, and regulation ended with the teams tied at 1-all.

In overtime, the Pirates had chances with three corner kicks and UNC Pembroke goalkeeper Whitney Beverly had to make three saves, including one off of a shot from Burton in the 108th minute. The match ended with the shots even at 11 and there were a combined 39 fouls called between the two teams. It is only AASU's second-ever tie, the first coming in the PBC Championship match last season against Columbus State.

AASU returns to action on Saturday, September 22, as the Pirates host Georgia Southwestern State at 3:30 p.m. at AT&T Field.
