WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Junior Ayanna Parker's first goal of the season helped the UNCW women's soccer team earn a 1-1 draw in the Seahawks' home opener vs. UNC Greensboro on Sunday night at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.

The Seahawks (1-0-1) continue their season-opening home swing on Wednesday at 7 p.m. vs. rival Coastal Carolina. The Spartans (0-0-1) travel to play at East Carolina next Thursday.

Parker's equalizer in the 56th minute came courtesy of a cross by junior Ayla Vaneus, who notched the game-winning goal three nights ago at Charlotte.

The score erased a goal by UNCG's Taylor Mentzer roughly 10 minutes earlier after the two in-state programs played to a scoreless first half before 959 fans in the Port City.

UNCW goalkeeper Morgan Hobbs fashioned two saves against three shots on goal.

The Seahawks recorded a 7-3 margin on corner kicks.
