In a back-and-forth opening frame, Seton Hall's offense came close to landing the scoring blow on multiple occasions, highlighted in the 28th minute by an Adria Kitzinger shot that the Red Storm's keeper kept out of the net. A pair of late shots sparked saves from Kleinsmith, sending the Pirates to the break holding a 0-0 scoreline.

Coming out of halftime, the Pirates continued to push the ball offensively, stressing St. John's defense. In both the 54th and 70th minutes, the Pirates produced dangerous attacking chances powered by the pressure generated by Gianna Angelillo. However, the Red Storm saved all four shots, frustrating the Pirates' offensive attack.

After that sequence, a flurry of substitutions followed over the remaining 20 minutes as both teams searched for the tie-breaking goal. However, both teams could only muster one shot during that span as the clock ticked down to zero.

Up Next
The Pirates hit the road next Saturday to face off against Providence next Saturday afternoon at 12 p.m.
