A Quick Look
Senior Christina Kornfeld (Mount Sinai/Miller Place) scored the game-tying goal in the 85^th minute, as the SUNY Oneonta women's soccer team tied Skidmore today 1-1 in non-conference action on the road.  After two scoreless overtime periods, the game ended in a draw moving the Red Dragons to 2-2-2 overall and the Thoroughbreds to 4-1-2.
 
The Inside Story
Vanessa Eljaiek scored the game's opening goal in the 39^th minute to give Skidmore a 1-0 lead.  Eljaiek had two earlier opportunities that hit the crossbar in the seventh and 30^th minute.  Yasmine Boukari beat a few Oneonta defenders to the outside on the left wing, launching a low cross into the box. Eljaiek positioned herself well, taking the first touch low into the back of the net.
 
Kornfeld's tying goal was set up by classmate Seaver Lipshie (Port Jefferson Station/Comsewogue) who sent a long pass from the center line that found Kornfeld.  Kornfeld then slipped past the Skidmore defense for a breakaway where she beat the Skidmore goalkeeper Vivian Montgomery-Walsh who made a great attempt to get a hand on Kornfeld's shot from the top of the box, but the ball rolled harmlessly into the right corner of the net.
 
Skidmore nearly won the game in the final two minutes of regulation. Liz Saraceno broke free of an Oneonta defender on the right wing, lifting a cross into the box towards Brianna Worobel, but the feed was inches too high, and the ball rolled out of play.
