After a goal in stoppage time, the Pittsburgh Riveters were forced to settle for a draw Thursday night in Erie.

Olivia Damico gave the Riveters (2-1-2) a lead early in the second half, but Leya Bretz scored on a header in the closing seconds to lift Erie Sports Center (0-3-2) to a 1-1 tie in USL W League play.

Alexis Tylenda set up the Riveters’ goal in the 58th minute, picking up a ball on the left wing and manuevering into the penalty area before sending a pass to Damico at the back post.

Erie’s Destinee Robertson took a free kick from 35 yards out in stoppage time and Bretz headed it in.

The Riveters return home to host FC Buffalo at 5 p.m. Sunday at Highmark Stadium.
