THE LEAD – Lesley University picked up a huge point on Wednesday evening against No. 11 Brandeis University, registering a 1-1 road tie against the Judges in non-conference NCAA Division III women's soccer action at Gordon Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Though the No. 11 Judges dominated possession, outshooting Lesley, 35-6, the Lynx were able to take advantage of their best opportunity. Sophomore Elsie Koehler (Portland, Ore.) ripped a pass from Bethany Slivka (Berkley, Mass.) from outside the box into the upper left netting in the 28^th minute to break the ice. It was Lesley's first shot on goal of the game.
• Just over four minutes later in the 32^nd 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 senior goalkeeper Madison Reed (Burlingame, Calif.), 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 86^th 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 draw marks the first time Lesley has picked up a point vs. a nationally ranked opponent since the 2018 campaign whey LU posted a 1-0 win over Brandeis when the Judges were ranked No. 10 in the United Soccer Coaches national poll.
• The 11 saves for Reed match her single-game career-high, last accomplishing the feat on Sept. 7, 2024 vs. #11 MIT.
• The four draws for Lesley is a new single-season high, surpassing the previous high of three ties which the program recorded in the 2010, 2017 and 2024 campaigns.
• The Lynx have allowed one or fewer goals in six of seven contests this season and currently have a 0.60 goals against average in road matches this season.
• 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.

UP NEXT

• Lesley returns to NAC action this weekend when they host SUNY Delhi on Saturday, Sept. 26 at Minuteman High School with a 12:00 PM kickoff.
• The Judges head to Hartford, Conn., the same day to meet the Trinity (Conn.) College Bantams at 12 noon.
