WESTFIELD, Mass.  –   Westfield State battled to a 2-2 draw with host Maryville College in the Maryville (TN) fall classic late on Saturday night.
 
The match was delayed about 2 hours from its scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time by thunderstorms in the area and finished at close to midnight.
 
This result comes just a day after Maryville played to the same score against Bridgewater (Va.) Friday night. The Scots are now 0-0-2 on the season after opening the year as the host of the Maryville College Fall Classic.  Westfield is also 0-0-2 after playing to a 0-0 draw with Sewanee in Friday's opener, which was also delayed in starting by the rough weather.
 
The Scots and Owls traded each traded goals in the middle of the match. All four goals were scored within a span of 22 minutes late in the first half and early in the second. The three second-half goals all came in a span of eight minutes.
 
The Scots kicked off the scoring with a goal by Chloe Chase in the 34th minute, her first of the year. The Scots held that lead through the end of the half, taking a 1-0 lead into the final 45 minutes.
 
The Owls wasted no time tying it up in the second half, evening it up in the 48th minute with a goal by Delaney Parker.
 
Just three minutes later, in the 51st minute, last year's leading goal scorer Sierra Lee  took back the lead for Maryville with her first goal of the season. Katie Corley ecorded an assist on the score.
 
Just five minutes after the Scots took the lead, Westfield's Katie Slattery's 56th-minute goal tied the game 2-2, where it would remain until the end of the game.

Morgan Berthiaume and Kiana Muratsuka assisted on the Owls two goals.
 
Westfield State outshot Maryville 13-10 overall and 7-5 on shots on goal, but Maryville's goalkeeper Sydney Marr saved five shots with Westfield's Julia Robak making two saves. The Scots also held the advantage on corner kicks 3-1.

Westfield will be back in action on Saturday, September 7, hosting the University of Southern Maine at Alumni Field at 3:00 p.m.
