Following the intermission, the Falcons broke the 0-0 deadlock at the 52:11 mark when sophomore Noelle Kennedy (Walpole, MA) collected her own rebound in front of the net and deposited a shot into the back of the net for her first marker on the year for the 1-0 margin.
The Leopards leveled the score at 1-1 in the 69th minute of action as sophomore Brianna Reid (Bridgewater, MA) settled a feed from freshman Rachel Hagerty (Ridgefield, WA) and put a shot inside the far post for her first goal of the 2024 campaign.
