Following the intermission, the Hawks took the lead in the 70th minute of action when sophomore Sarah Fogarty (Scituate, MA) received a feed from freshman Kaitlyn Alagno (Oxford, CT) and found the back of the net for her first score of the season for the 1-0 advantage.

The Falcons leveled the score at 1-1 with just 49 seconds remaining in the contest as Westcott gathered a pass from newcomer Kelsey Fournier (Upton, MA) and buried a shot inside the far post for her second tally of the 2024 campaign, resulting in the 1-1 draw.
