On Saturday, the Maritime Women's Soccer team took to the road to face off against the Old Westbury Panthers. The Privateers and Panthers both entered today's game 1-4 in Skyline Conference competition. Led by a prolific defensive performance, the Privateers recorded their first tie of the season by a score of 1-1.

The Privateers lone goal came on a total of 22 shot attempts. Along with 10 saves by Maritime's all-time leading goal saver, Cammie Havens (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant Borough), the Privateers defense controlled the cavalcade of drives made by the Panthers. The defensive group of the Privateers recorded a key first period blocked shot to keep the game scoreless. The Privateers were also key in preventing any scoring chances in the seven corner kicks taken by the Panthers.

After allowing their first goal of the day, Maritime did not wait long to respond to Old Westbury. In the 82^nd minute, the Privateers turned to a familiar face from all season long in Brianna Etienne (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City).
