The Presidents kept the pressure up in the second half.  The Red & Black forced a turnover in their offensive penalty area which allowed junior Dove Corrette-Bennett (New Castle, Pa./Neshannock) to bury the chance for her third goal of the season to give the Presidents the lead, 1-0. Senior Camille Smith (Canton, Ohio/Lake) saved a goal off a Barons corner kick set piece.  The Barons got their equalizer in the final seconds of the contest off a penalty kick.
