MORAGA, Calif. - A late penalty shot for the University of the Pacific Women's Soccer Team (9-1-3, 1-1-1) gave them the equalizer against the Gaels (7-2-3, 1-1-1) leading to a 1-1 tie at Saint Mary's Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Gaels struck early in the match when fed a long pass to who was racing up the right sideline. DiGeronimo got around the corner on two Pacific defenders and fired a tough angle shot up over the Tigers keeper for a 1-1 lead just over 11 minutes into the game.
DiGeronimo would have a similar opportunity in the 17 minute that was saved by the Tigers Brenna Crump on a sprawling stop and she made the save on rebound opportunity.
