Arlington Heights, Ill. – Junior midfielder Veronica Davila (Bourbonnais, Ill./Governors State/Bradley-Bourbonnais) scored her team-leading second goal of the season to help the Saint Xavier University women's soccer team (2-1-1, 0-0 CCAC) earn a 1-1 draw with NCAA Division II Roosevelt University (Ill.)

  • Senior midfielder Louisa Schreiber (Bonndorf, Germany/Morton/Hans-Thoma-Schule) and junior midfielder Vicki Ferrer (Cicerco, Ill./Morton CC/Morton East) each had a shot on goal, respectively.

  • Dybas finished the first half with three saves, making a pair of stops in the first five minutes of play.
  • In the 66th minute, Jonaitis connected with Davila to square the match at 1-1.
