SHERBROOKE, Que. – Frederique Rivard sent the Coulter Field faithful into a frenzy when she marked her fourth goal of the year just minutes into the second half. The Bishop's Gaiters women's soccer team clung to that lead for the majority of the stanza however, an Ariane Ducharme goal in the 88^th minutes equalized for the McGill Martlets and the game ended in a 1-1 draw in RSEQ University women's soccer action on Sunday afternoon.
 
Although the Gaiters surely would have preferred a win on senior day, they can take solace knowing that they dealt the McGill playoff aspirations a serious blow.  RSEQ Standings.
