Last Meeting (9/24/19) | Box Score | Senior forward Nina Predanic converted a penalty kick with 18 seconds left in the second overtime to allow The College of Saint Rose to upend visiting Pace University 1-0 in a match that at the time featured a pair of nationally ranked and unbeaten squads. Each side manufactured three shots-on-goal and both had earlier chances to win it. Junior keeper Marika Laurendeau thwarted a dangerous high shot by senior back Marta Sardornil at the 77:23 mark to keep the match scoreless. Predanic had another PK opportunity midway through the first extra session, but Pace sophomore Jade Mallea stopped the attempt to force the match to continue.
 
Last Time Out: Saint Rose wrapped up its regular-season campaign on a high note with Tuesday's 2-1 Northeast-10 Conference triumph against visiting New Haven. The Golden Knights overcame an early 1-0 deficit and manufactured a 22-8 shot advantage while twice rattling the crossbar. Predanic set up both Saint Rose strikes. Freshman forward Olivia Boucher tied it with her tenth goal of the year at the 18:42 mark when she drove home Predanic's initial deflected shot four minutes after the Chargers had gone ahead. Senior forward Caitlyn Dabagian then collected a Predanic pass, dribbled up the left flank and fired a shot from 15-yards out inside the right post with 33:03 expired.
