Three unanswered goals at the beginning of the fourth tied the game at 9-9 with 11:48 left in regulation. A pair of goals from Winthrop's Tori Iannotti put the home team back in front, but Queens' Lexy Stevenson answered with her third and fourth goals of the day, making things even again at 11-11.
