BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The LIU Brooklyn women's soccer team concluded non-conference play on Thursday night with a 2-2 double overtime draw against Seton Hall at LIU Field.

The Blackbirds (2-6-2) struck first as both teams pushed the pace early. It was the rebound goal by sophomore Kimberly Butland that gave LIU the early 1-0 advantage. The Pirates (2-3-4) brought the score even in the 31st minute as Siobhan McGovern put back the rebound out of the scrum in front of the net off her initial shot that hit the crossbar.
 
The wild first half did not end there as LIU drew a penalty inside the box in the 33rd minute. That set up the penalty kick for senior Marian Awad, who buried the shot to the left side for her sixth goal of the season.
 
Second half of the game started off slow as LIU looked to control the tempo with the one goal advantage. Seton Hall went on the offensive late on a few chances, eventually drawing a Blackbirds handball inside the box in the 82nd minute for the penalty kick. It was McGovern with the boot to the right post to tie the game up at 2-2.
 
Both teams came out the gate strong in the opening overtime as LIU outshot Seton Hall 3-2 but neither side was able to break one through. The Pirates held the 4-0 shot advantage in the second overtime but the no chances within reach of the golden goal, forcing the tie.
 
Freshman Meaghan Haley registered five saves in the start in goal for LIU. She was evenly matched with Seton Hall's Anna MacLean who also registered five saves. The Pirates held the shot advantage on the night 19-11.
