Reading, Pa. (Oct. 23, 2010) - Junior Amy Mesce (Pittstown, N.J./Delaware Valley Regional) scored her 11th of the season and senior Kirsten Kelley (Kirkwood, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) made six saves including a diving effort in the second overtime as Alvernia University (11-3-4, 2-1-3) earned a 1-1 draw with Widener University (11-3-2, 2-2-2) Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Conference women's soccer action at Schlager Memorial Field.

The Pride opened the scoring in the 27th minute when Caryinna Yenchak netted her seventh of the season off the inside of the far post.  The lead remained one goal into the second half, but it didn't take long for Mesce to strike on an unassisted tally in the 48th minute.

Alvernia had golden opportuinties in both overtimes, but hit the frame three times.

The Crusaders have one more conference game on the schedule, next Saturday at Arcadia, and have sewn up a spot as either the third or fourth seed and will travel to either Arcadia or Messiah for semifinal action on Wednesday, November 3.

Alvernia will play a non-conference game against Delaware Valley on Wednesday.
