The Hudson Valley Community College women's soccer team earned a hard-fought 2-2 tie as they traveled to compete against Paul Smith's College on Sunday afternoon in Paul Smith's, NY. 

The two programs traded goals all game, which began with Paul Smith's scored first at the 28-minute mark on penalty kick. In fact, both Paul Smith's goals were scored as a result of penalty kicks. They converted on a PK at the 60-minute mark to pull ahead of Hudson Valley 2-1.
