(FREDERICTON, NB) The UNB Varsity Reds and Saint Mary's Huskies played to a 1-1 draw Saturday afternoon, at UNB's BMO Centre.

MJ Miller(Hammonds Plains, NS) opened the scoring in the 8^th minute, giving UNB a 1-0 lead.  Fiorella Morales(Bedford, NS) answered three minutes later to tie the game.

Rebecca Duda(Halifax, NS) made two saves on three shots in the Varsity Reds net.  Ashley Blank(Cole Harbour, NS) made six saves on seven shots in the Huskies net.

Blank, a third year Arts student, feels her teammates did well to bounce back after going down a goal early.

"It's hard, once you get scored on, to come back, but we got our heads up quickly and were able to capitalize," she said.

Fiorella was named the SMU Subway Player of the game.
