MISENHEIMER, N.C. – For the third time this season, sophomore Darilyn Nieto had a multi-goal performance, helping the Salem soccer team earn a 2-2 draw with Pfeiffer when the two teams clashed at Lefko Field in Misenheimer, N.C., in USA South Conference action on Saturday.

Nieto, who led all Salem players with five shots and five shots on goal, quickly put the Spirits in the lead in the 14th-minute of action. Pfeiffer answered with a goal of its own, by virtue of a shot from Chloe Johnson, who converted a pass by Victoria Tita, as the first half closed in a 1-1 deadlock.

Nieto notched her 12th goal of the campaign, second of the contest, in the 47th-minute, which provided Salem with a 2-1 advantage. However, Pfeiffer again answered with a strike, evening the match with an unassisted goal by Jadelyn Taylor in the 81st-minute.

Marissa Doutrich anchored the Salem defense in net with eight saves, while Olivia Garner countered with four saves.

Salem attempted eight shots (six shots on goal), getting five each from Nieto, while Layla Locklear, Jasmin Solorzano and Giselle Ramos had one each. Tita and Kelsy Esuivel had a team-best six shots each for Pfeiffer.
