Queens, N.Y. — Down 2-0 at halftime, the Seton Hall women's soccer team rallied with two goals in the second half from freshman Olivia Beauvois (Windsor, Conn.) and sophomore Megan Twomey (Oakland, N.J.) that gave the Pirates a 2-2 draw with St. John's and a point in BIG EAST play on Sunday afternoon.

The Pirates (3-6-3, 0-1-2 BIG EAST) earn their a point on the road against St. John's for the first time since 2000 when they came away with three points in a 1-0 win.

Beauvois was assisted on her goal by senior Phoebe Hampson (Chesire, England) and senior Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.). The equalizer was headed in by Twomey off of a corner kick taken by Tavana, giving her two assists on the day.

How It Happened

Both teams adjusted to the slippery and damp conditions on the turf at Belson Stadium as Tavana registered the Pirates' first shot of the game just past the five minute mark in the first half. St. John's struck first in the 18th minute and would double their tally in the 25th minute.

Despite the score, both sides had seven shots in the first 45 minutes and the Pirates had a 3-2 edge in shots on target. Seton Hall continued its pursuit of ending its scoring drought, racking up five shots and drawing two corner kicks through the first 13 minutes of the second half while holding St. John's shotless.

The Pirates' persistence was rewarded following a second ball opportunity off of a corner kick in the 63rd minute. Tavana possessed and surveyed from 10 yards outside the box before sending in a pass that found Hampson and landed at the feet of Beauvois who converted her first career goal and made it 2-1 in favor of the Red Storm.

The Pirates continued to be the aggressor by winning 50-50 balls and staying organized defensively. Twomey entered the second half in the 80th minute and she helped the Pirates equalize five minutes later. Tavana stepped up to take the Pirates' fifth corner of the day and she sent a strike into the scoring area where it found the head of Twomey who scored and knotted up the contest at 2-2.

Delusional, lying Joe Biden.

Maybe teams are finally beginning to wake up!

More teams need to do this. It’s the only way things will change and get back to normal.

Some of the highest-profile targets of the Pac-12's expansion have rebuffed its interest, as Memphis, Tulane, USF and UTSA publicly committed to stay in the American Athletic Conference on Monday.

The schools announced their intentions on social media, which solidifies the AAC in the short term and leaves the six-team Pac-12 in flux as it searches for at least two more members to complete its rebuild.

The Pac-12 added Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State in recent weeks, with the goal to create a clear-cut fifth-best football conference. The school is in discussions with Gonzaga as a basketball addition, which sources told ESPN would come with a full revenue share. ESPN is also reporting preliminary discussions with Saint Mary's for the Pac-12.

But some of the Pac-12's momentum to become the top football conference outside the Power 4 leagues has stalled, as Memphis loomed as the linchpin of any potential additions.

The schools issued statements filled with standard jargon about student-athletes and academics, but the reality is that a significant financial risk loomed if any of them decided to join the Pac-12. AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti has aggressively tried to leverage private equity money to help boost cash flow in his league.

The four schools released a joint statement that read, in part: "While we acknowledge receiving interest in our institutions from other conferences, we firmly believe that it is in our individual and collective best interests to uphold our commitment to each other."

Exit fees from the AAC loomed as a big factor, as SMU paid $25 million to leave under a 27-month window. Factoring in revenue loss, it would cost a projected $27.5 million for each school to exit, as the Pac-12 is slated to start play in 2026.

The biggest factor working against the Pac-12 in luring the high-profile AAC programs was that it couldn't guarantee them a set monetary amount. The conference is working with its consulting partner, Navigate, to reconstruct the league. The costs and toll of travel also played a role in the decision-making. Navigate has been at the forefront of the outreach calls for the Pac-12, sources said.

While the Pac-12 has offered revenue projections of more than $12 million, there's no guarantee it would land there, considering it doesn't know who the final members will be. That has prevented the conference from getting an idea from television partners on what a deal would be worth, and that uncertainty presented a risk for the AAC schools. Memphis, Tulane and USF make close to $9 million in revenue from the league all-in between media rights, bowl deals and NCAA units.

As the Pac-12 whiffed on some of its top targets, the Mountain West has been scurrying to solidify its league. ESPN reported that the Mountain West is offering outsized deals to Air Force and UNLV as incentives to stay. The conference is offering all eight of its members extra money and guaranteeing that they won't move backward in their media contract.

ESPN has confirmed that Air Force has pledged its commitment to stay in the Mountain West. That is in the form of a memorandum of understanding that will allow the league to work toward a television deal and grant of rights.

Aaron Judge hits HR # 58, his 5th home run in consecutive games and among the multiple headlines in the NY Post about the game, nowhere is that feat mentioned.
