Shannon Boxx assisted on a goal by Eniola Aluko in the 86th minute to force the host St. Louis Athletica to a 2-2 draw with defending Women's Professional Soccer champion Sky Blue FC Sunday at the Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park in Fenton, MO.
Boxx opened the scoring for the Athletica on a ninth-minute penalty kick for what would become the halftime lead.
Laura Kalmari scored two goals in a four-minute span of the second half -- off assists by Kiersten Dallstream in the 58th and Heather O'Reilly in the 62nd -- to take a 2-1 Sky Blue lead before Aluko's game-winning goal.
The Athletica are 2-1-3 with nine points and in fifth place in the league standings. They will next travel to the expansion Atlanta Beat May 29.
Sky Blue is 3-2-1 with 10 points and tied for third in the standings with the Washington Freedom (same record). They will face the Boston Breakers in Fenton May 29.
