shot that was going to the far right corner, but a Saints defender
kicked it away at the goal line.
In the 97th minute, Rebecca Mateo almost ended the match when
she lifted a long, left footed shot from the right side to the far
post, but Saints goalkeeper Kristin Alderson-Fleagle raced over and
smothered it just before it went into the net.
Fleagle made 13 saves, while counterpart Anna Donaldson made
two.
