Allison Lowrey’s 6th minute goal was equalized with 2:25 to play

RALEIGH, N.C. – Rutgers women's soccer (1-1-1) left Dail Field with a 1-1 draw on Thursday evening after NC State (1-0-2) equalized with just 2:25 left in the contest. The Wolfpack, receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll and a 2022 NCAA Tournament participant, hosted 1,462 fans on Thursday.

SCORING SUMMARY

Allison Lynch started the early goal in the 6th minute by finding dribbling space near midfield and playing a brilliant ball down the right sideline to Sara Brocious, who in turn had plenty of space to play a sharp and low cross to Allison Lowrey. The resulting shot was a one-time screamer by Allison Lowrey from near the penalty spot to the upper-right 90 for the 1-0 lead. Lynch and Brocious were both credited with assists on the score.
The Wolfpack leveled on a late, 88th minute goal when a set piece was played straight into the six-yard box, took a deflection, and skirted into goal.
