HAMILTON - After nearly 84 minutes of scoreless action, a flurry of four goals in the final six minutes concluded in a 2-2 draw in Hamilton on Thursday night.

After the Revolutionaries took a 1-0 lead with six minutes left, Sophia Ro nodded the Raiders equal off a cross from Cate Childers. George Washington looked to have all but won the match with 40 seconds left on the clock but Josie Tunney pounced on a loose ball in the box as leveled the game at two apiece.

COACH HOKANSON'S COMMENTS
"That could be one of the craziest matches I've been a part of in my playing or coaching career. I have to give a huge amount of credit to our team who didn't give up when we conceded so late in the game and found a way to steal a tie from a loss. Happy for Soph to find her first goal tonight and thought Josie thoroughly deserved a goal for her late game performance. Proud of the habit of resilience we can take away from coming back twice but definitely a lot of things to learn from and clean up that put us in those positions. We'll look forward to continuing to grow and have another tough test ahead on Sunday."
