ALBANY, NY – For the first time since 2007, the crosstown showdown between Siena Women's Soccer and UAlbany ended in a draw as the rivals battled to a 1-1 tie at Casey Stadium. Darby D'Angelo scored the tying goal in the 76^th minute and Taylor Dorado made a season-high 11 saves for the Saints who will head back into conference action on a five-match unbeaten streak.

Both teams scored on second half penalty kicks as the squads finished deadlocked for just the third time in 24 all-time meetings. Defending America East Champion and preseason favorite UAlbany (4-3-2) held a 25-16 advantage in shots, while both sides registered four corners apiece.

The Great Danes were awarded a penalty kick in the 64^th minute, which Leah Pais converted to open the scoring. But with just under 15 minutes remaining in regulation, Jayanna Monds was taken down in the box following a long run. D'Angelo then stepped up and calmly finished the PK to knot the score on her first tally of the season.

UAlbany out-shot Siena (2-5-3) 20-9 following halftime, but Dorado made eight of her 11 saves over the final 65 minutes as the Saints improved to 2-0-3 over their last five contests.

Sophia Chen made five saves for the Great Danes which ran their unbeaten streak to six (5-0-1).

Siena is now set to resume league action for good when the Saints host Saint Peter's in their MAAC home opener Saturday at 1 p.m.
