The CBU CAPERS (3-0-1) and the Acadia Axewomen played a hard-fought game that ended in a draw on Sunday at Ness Timmons Field at CBU.

Not even a minute later, Grace Hannaford (Enfield, NS) drew a penalty in the box which led to a penalty kick. Ally Rowe (Kitchener, ON) took the kick and managed to get it past Acadia's keeper Milena Ramirez (Wolfville, NS). 

The CAPERS pulled ahead with an unassisted goal from rookie Audrey Roy (Petit-Rocher, NB) at the 71-minute mark.  Ten minutes later, Axewomen Aucoin – Acadia's player of the game - snuck one past Lancaster to even up the score at 2 each.
