SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - Katie McLean scored in the 73rd minute to break a 1-1 tie and the Union women's soccer team held off Rensselaer, 2-1, in a Liberty League contest.  Shannon McGuire scored for RPI, which fell to 4-7-1 overall and 1-3-0 in the league.  Fellow freshman Melissa Pinsonneault stopped four shots for the Engineers.  With the win, Union improves to 9-3-0 and 4-0-0. 

McLean's one touch shot from a cross pass by senior Katie Weinstein gave Union the lead back. The win extends the Dutchwomen's win streak to five.

The Dutchwomen opened the game with a quick response. Senior Allison Cuozzo scored the first goal of the game in the sixth minute. Senior Bianca Germain made a perfect cross inside the goal box for Cuozzo to quickly shoot the ball and give Union a 1-0 lead.

RPI played aggressive offense throughout in the second half. With a crowded goal box, RPI's Jaquelyn Garlasco prevented the ball from leaving Union's goal box and Maguire's header tied the game in the 53rd minute.

Union's Abby Stohler finished with five saves.
