Greenville, S.C. -- Martha Hall's second half goal helped Furman rally from a one goal deficit and earn a 1-1 draw with Appalachian State in Southern Conference women's soccer action on Friday evening at Stone Stadium.

The tie, Furman's second in three SoCon matches, moved the Paladins to 6-3-2 overall and 1-0-2 in league play.  Appalachian moved to 3-5-2 overall and 0-2-1 in the SoCon.

The Mountaineers grabbed the first half lead less than two minutes from the break when Sam McVeigh rose above the Paladin defense to direct a Taylor Dunlap corner kick into the far left-hand corner at the 43:48.  The header was McVeigh's first goal of the season and just the second for the Mountaineers in three SoCon matches.

Furman, who managed a 17-12 edge in total shots and commanding 10-5 advantage in shots on goal for the game, found the equalizer at the 71:32 mark.  Caitlin Shelton passed to Colleen Lynch who delivered a pass to Hall in between defenders at the top of the 18-yard box and the junior blasted a shot into the right side for her team-leading seventh goal of the season.

Chances on goal were few and far between over two overtime periods, but freshman Irravadee Makris had the best opportunity just six minutes into overtime. She split two defenders to create a one versus one with the Appalachian State keeper only to have to ball poked away by a sliding Jordan Hatton as she attempted to round the ASU keeper and shoot to an empty net.

Hatton made two saves for the Mountaineers in relief of starter Carolina Clarke who had stopped seven shots in over 79 minutes of work.  Furman's Jessica Smith tallied four saves and allowed one goal in the draw.

Furman continues its three-match SoCon homestand on Sunday when it entertains Western Carolina at Stone Stadium.  Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
