The Pride move to 3-10-1 overall and 2-5-1 in conference play after drawing their first match of the season while Wellesley moves to 5-6-4 on the season and 2-3-3 in NEWMAC play.
It was a competitive first half accompanied by great defensive play from both squads. Springfield took nine shots to Wellesley's five with both goalkeepers earning one save a piece as neither team was able to score through the first 45 minutes.

Just over one minute later, Wellesley responded with a goal of their own as both teams would play to a draw.
