Wiejkus' first two goals of season gives Salve 2-2 draw

NEWPORT, R.I. -- Salve Regina University women's soccer junior Sara Wiejkus scored her first two goals of the season to give the Seahawks a 2-2 with the United States Coast Guard Academy in NEWMAC action at Reynolds Field in Newport, Rhode Island.

The Seahawks came back from a one-goal deficit on two occasions. In the first half, Wiejkus converted a penalty kick in the 21st minute for her first goal of the season. In the 85th minute, Taylor Barnaby lobbed a kick into the box that Wiejkus finished to tie the score once more.

In the final 15 seconds, the Seahawks rattled three potential game winners toward the goal. Marissa Perachi's shot was stopped by Bears keeper Emily Scharnitzky before Faye Fitzpatrick followed with a kick that was blocked to Olivia Tacconi whose last attempt went off the crossbar.
