JOLIET, Ill. – The Roosevelt University women's soccer team tied the University of Saint Francis by the score of 2-2 on Wednesday, March 17 in Chicagoland Collegiate Conference (CCAC) action at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

The Lakers were on the offensive the majority of the game, outshooting the Fighting Saints 42-13, but were unable to find the back of the net until the 61^st minute. Gabi Christidis (SO/Rockford, Ill.) dribbled through the USF backline and slotted her shot into the corner for her fourth goal of the season and a 1-0 RU lead.

However, the Fighting Saints caught the Lakers on a counter attack less than a minute later to tie the game and then scored on another counter attack four minutes later to take a 2-1 advantage. The Lakers pushed for the equalizer the rest of the half and were finally rewarded in the 87^th minute when Lexy Langloss (JR/Dixon, Ill.) buried a Christidis cross to even things at 2-2 with both teams unable to score again in overtime.
