MOUNT VERNON – Five minutes from completing a shutout win Sunday afternoon, Cornell's women's soccer team left its home field with a 1-1 draw against nonconference foe Aurora.
 
Sophomore Elissafe Moreno knocked in her second goal of the season off an assist from Kylie Hard in the 11th minute and the Rams (1-3-1) played with the lead for a large portion of the match.
 
The Spartans (0-1-3) eventually broke through Cornell's tough defense with 4:24 remaining in regulation to tie the score, which stood as the final.
 
Cornell starting goalkeeper Sabrina Ibanez recorded five saves over 69 scoreless minutes. She was replaced by fellow freshman Krystin Kamrath, who finished the match in net and posted two saves.
 
The Rams attempted six total shots, half of them coming from Moreno. Hard, Sydney Hancox and Wies Kleingeld each had one attempt.
 
Aurora's attack accounted for 21 shots, including 12 after intermission.  
  
Coming up – Cornell plays host to NAIA's Iowa Wesleyan at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
