QUEENS, New York - The American International College women's soccer team ended as it started with a 0-0 tie against Queens College in nonconference action on Wednesday, October 14.
AIC is now 7-5-1 and remains 3-2-0 in Northeast 10 Conference play.
Savannah Kamperides generated the first shot on goal of the game for AIC in the 11th minute, while

Queens came close to scoring early in the second half, but were denied twice by
Hedda Haukland within the first three minutes.
