NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - The Smith College soccer team battled to a 2-2 draw with Wellesley College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Senior Day Saturday afternoon. 

Smith is now 7-5-5 on the season and 1-4-3 in conference play. The Blue currently hold a 6-8-1 overall record and 3-4-1 mark in NEWMAC matches. 

Seniors Kyla Petrie and Maddie Carlborg each scored for the Blue. Petrie found the back of the net 20:53 into the first half, ringing the ball off the crossbar and into the Smith goal to make the score 1-0. Petrie's goal held up until halftime, as the Blue took a 1-0 lead into the break.

Smith found the equalizer in the second half, scoring at 68:08 when junior Jordan Isaacs (Weston, Conn./Weston) scored her seventh goal of the season on an unassisted effort. The Pioneers only had the lead for a short time before Carlborg took it back for the Blue, scoring her team-leading fifth goal of the year at 70:11. Junior Shawna Dunham set-up Carlborg on the play, as the Blue took advantage of a restart following a Smith foul.

Smith senior Emily Smith (Winchester, Mass./Winchester) evened the score in the 81st minute, collecting a loose ball in front to score her team-leading ninth goal of the season.
